1. Install Apache Jakarta Tomcat 5.5 (Unzip files to C:\Program Files\Jakarta\)

 

See the tutorial for help installing and configuring Apache Jakarta Tomcat 5.5.

 

2. Unzip the Apache Axis 1.2.1 installation binary file to the C:\Program Files\Apache Axis folder.

 

3. Download and unzip JavaBeans Activation Framework 1.0.2 from http://java.sun.com/products/archive/javabeans/jaf102.html

AXIS needs the activation.jar file included in the zip file.

Copy the activation.jar to “C:\Program Files\Jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\”

 

4. Copy the “C:\Program Files\Apache Axis\axis-1_2_1\webapps\axis” folder and place it under the “C:\Program Files\Jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\webapps” directory.

 

5. Set up the following CLASSPATH and AXIS related environment variables through the "Advanced" tab in the System Properties menu of the Control Panel.

(Note: Make sure there are absolutely NO SPACES in the environment variables. Eg: Use "C:\Progra~1" instead of "C:\Program Files", etc.)

 

AXIS_HOME                        C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\axis-1_2_1

 

AXIS_LIB                  %AXIS_HOME%\lib
