You need to compile the server.java and client.java files, then deploy them to axis by writing a wsdd file (instructions for how to publish the web service). The WSDL is not important for deployment, I assume you must have used to to generate the server.java file.
Compiling the classes can be a bit fun, but that's why we have Axis to help out with setting classpaths etc. You need to have Axis installed properly in Tomcat for deployment to work properly.
I'm pretty sure (i may be wrong) that this is a bug in Axis - when something goes wrong, ie it can't load your class for whatever reason, instead of displaying an error, it just displays nothing at all. Try checking the tomcat logs, or experimenting with the deploy options - Axis/Tomcat must be able to load the class using its classloader - I put my classes in the axis web-inf/classes directory (this is on linux btw).But when I undeploy the WidgetPrice service everything goes back to normal i e the previously deployed services are shown again. How can that be?
any help?
