WSDD deployment problem

[Daniel Elenius]

Hi!

I'm trying to deploy a simple "hello world" webapp with axis (1.1RC2)
and tomcat (4.1.18). I've managed to get the example webapps, like the
stock example, working, and happyaxis is happy, except that it says:

XML Parser Location: Null

I get a 

(500)Internal Server Error

when I try to run my own service. I've really tried to understand this,
searched the mailing list archives etc, but I can't see what I'm doing
differently from the other examples that makes it not work. Can someone
tell me what I'm doing wrong?


My deploy.wsdd file looks like this:

------
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/";
            xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";>
  <service name="urn:HelloService2" provider="java:RPC" >
    <parameter name="className" value="HelloService2"/>
    <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>
  </service>
</deployment>
-----

And I have copied HelloService2.class to
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/classes

The HelloService2.java file looks like this:

----
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;

public class HelloService2 {

    private static int counter = 0;

    public static String sayHello( String message ) {

        System.out.println("In HelloService2:sayhello()");
        return "How is it going buddy! - " + message + " Called " +
++counter + " times";
        
    }
}
----

And the client that tries to call it like this:

----
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

public class HelloClientHTTP {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        try {

            String endpoint =
                "http://localhost:8080/axis/services/urn:HelloService2";;
            
            Service  service = new Service();
            Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();
            
            call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );

            call.setOperationName(new QName("FunServices:HelloService",
"sayHello"));
            
            System.out.println("Trying to invoke SOAP service...");
            String res = (String)call.invoke(new Object[] { "Hey Axis server!"
} );
            System.out.println(res);
            
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println(e.toString());
        }
    }
}
