Eclipse WTP Tomcat axis Web Service

in eclipse
. create a server instance
. switch to J2EE perspective
. create dynamic web project
. "web Content" --> import the wsdl file
. file->new->web service -> top down from wsdl
. make sure the an instance of the server is created and started in eclipse with the web service running
. check the following in web browser
http://localhost:8080/WebServiceTest/services , it should display something as below:

And now... Some Services
AdminService (wsdl)
AdminService
Version (wsdl)
getVersion

. windows->preference->java->Installed JRE->JDK1.5->add External JARs to inlcude activations.jar and mail.jar from jaf and javamail. (this will remove the attachment not supported warning)

create eventSearch Web service and portal client

(lb p32)
WS-I WSDL first approach is used. accordingly the following steps are attmepted for this task.
1. Service specification for WSDL design - Specify service interface.
2. Use Axis tool to generate service code template
H:\>java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java --server-side --skeletonDeploy true http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~ft/ontology/EventSearch.wsdl
this generate the following server side skeleton (client side is called stub):
Event.java ArrayOfEvent.javaEventSearchIn.java EventSearchOut.javaEventSearchPort.java EventSearchBindingStub.javaEventSearchBindingSkeleton.java EventSearchBindingImpl.javaEventSearchService.java EventSearchServiceLocator.javadeploy.wsdd undeploy.wsdd
