Axis2 Installation Steps


Important

The steps for setting up Axis2 can be a little cumbersome in that it involves a lot of extracting and renaming of files. In order to deploy i2b2.war correctly it is recommended that you follow each step as it is written and pay close attention to which file and folder you are working in.


1. Download the WAR distribution for Apache Axis 2 by clicking on Begin Download
2. Locate the file (axis2-1.7.1-war.zip) you just downloaded.
3. Extract all the items in the zip file into a directory of your choice.
Linux Example:  /opt/axis2-1.7.1-war
Windows Example:  C:\opt\axis2-1.7.1-war
4. Go to your Wildfly deployments folder (YOUR_WILDFLY_HOME_DIR\standalone\deployments)
5. Create a folder called i2b2.war
6. Create an empty text file called i2b2.war.dodeploy
7. Locate the axis2-1.7.1-war.zip file you downloaded
8. Extract only the file called axis2.war to your Wildfly deployments folder
9. Once the file is extracted rename the axis2.war file to axis2.zip.
10. Extract all the files in axis2.zip to the i2b2.war folder you created in the first step (YOUR_WILDFLY_HOME_DIR\standalone\deployments\i2b2.war)
11. Delete the zip file (axis2.zip).
12. i2b2.war will be deployed the next time you start Wildfly.
