[sahanlm]

When trying to deploy apache axis rampart modules are you getting java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid literal/length code ?

I have a simple test program which has three mar files and other axis2 and rampart jar files. The three mar files i used are

addressing-1.6.2.mar

rahas-1.6.2.mar

rampart-1.6.2.mar

When i run my program i m getting below exception

What i did was i extracted all three mar files in to 3 separate folders and place within "modules" folder.

Reason for the above exception is that when axis2 is up it try to deploy and create class loaders for whats inside mar files by extracting them into a temp folder not the bin folder.

Ant target to start axis2 server

Here i will describe how to write ant target to start apache axis2 server directly from your "build.xml" file without calling any shell script file. For this purpose we use "org.apache.axis2.transport.SimpleAxis2Server" class and pass it few arguments to tell it about our configuration files and service folder path. First let us add locations to class path. (here the ${axis-home} refers to the root of your apache axis2 directory.)

with adding those paths to the class path let us write ant target to start axis2 server like below.

Here we pass a jvm argument stating all the endorsed folder paths and two runtime arguments which are the location for service repository and path to axis configuration file.
