Setting up a Java Development Environment.

sepoto · #1 7th March 2012, 12:52 AM

I am currently working on setting up a new development environment. The first thing I have done is download and install the JavaJDK in .rpm format as provided by sun.java.com. My development is going to require the use of Apache Axis. From what I have read Axis may be included with TomCat. Is this correct? With my current configuration of only having installed the Java JDK would installing TomCat conflict with anything already installed by the JDK? My goal here is to establish a working Axis environment. I was using a C# version of this project before that was linked to a WSDL however the code I beieve to be poorly maintained and it seems like everyone is on Java now so I am going to have to make a switch. Since I have IIS on my Windows 7 Pro installation already I am choosing Fedora16 i686 as my environment and it is a good one. Please Help! My brothers need this program done really well from me!

I was able to install Tomcat using the package manager. Where is $CATALINA_HOME or the home directory of Tomcat on F16? As far as AXIS I'm still confused on how to install it after looking at the documentation. I'm giving it another read right now. What I did was install tomcat-7.0.26-1.fc16 with the package manager.

Maybe this will help?

Code:

BASH:~/-> yum search axis

OK. So essentially I did a:

sudo yum install

mod_wso2-exis2-2.1.0-5.fc16
wso2-rampart-2.1.0-5.fc16

I installed the security module because my WSDL needs transport over https so I am hoping that will be handled. I am still searching for this home directory of tomcat that I can't find.

The documetation available at ws.apache.org/axis says that there may be something at http://localhost/axis although even after a reboot of the machine I don't see anything happening when I put that URL into my browser. I'm a bit lost at this point as to what to do. Am I testing for AXIS improperly?

OK. I uninstalled those and did this:

yum install mod_wso2-axis2.i686 axis.noarch wso2-rampart.i686

Upon rebooting the machine I am looking here:

localhost/axis/happyaxis.jsp

but I am not seeing anything yet.

Is there something I am failing to see here? It seems there may be two different versions of AXIS available with one being in wso2 format? Also I tried installing all of the packages then rebooting and looking for:

localhost/axis/happyaxis.jsp

localhost/axis/

I still am not seeing anything.

Myself, I don't have any answers to your questions as I am not a Java developer or any other kind of developer/code writer. I was just trying help you locate any "axis" files that might be suitable for your use that exit on the regular Fedora repo's.

Thanks for the help. I am hoping someone will look at this that has done this before. I am using an existing web services library that communicates over https via AXIS as provided by NetSuite.

My way was to start with a fresh installation of F16 and then use the package manager to install AXIS then ANT. It worked out really well with the package manager.
