text: Hi everybody, I am completely new to wsdl. I just downloaded the axis and would like to start some example from jakarta. I can access the happyaxis.jsp. But I could not run the AdminClient as sugguested in installation guide. Any idea or suggestion for WSLD beginner is appreciated. Thanks. John
  Hi Lasse, I followed the instruction from <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/install.html">Jakarta</a> ...<i>Run the admin client Execute the following command from the samples/stock directory. If you are not in this directory you will get a "java.io.FileNotFoundException: deploy.wsdd (The system cannot find the file specified)" exception. On Windows java -cp %AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService deploy.wsdd On UNIX java -cp $AXISCLASSPATH org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService deploy.wsdd </i> But I could not run at all since I search the entire axis diretory which does not contain the suggested class file. Are you aware of where can I find them? Also, I am does not have any idea where to start with web service. Could you suggest a starting point. I coded a serveral project in Java, J2ee, JDBC, JNDI, JSP/Servlet, EJB, etc. but still have no idea about WSDL and would like to have some example running. Thank you very much.
  Yes, I did. I typed: javap org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient It shows the Class api. I followed the instruction of the install page of Tomcat. The following message was: C:\project\wsj>java -cp %AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -lhttp://localhost/axis/services/AdminService deploy.wsdd Processing file deploy.wsdd Exception:: java.io.FileNotFoundException: deploy.wsdd (The system cannot find the file specified) (my port is 80 by default). Where and how do I create the deploy.wsdd file. I am confused when the instruction said that do not worry about that. System automatically generate it. Thank you very much.
