Create Web Services using axis and eclipse

For better clarity, I will take you through one service creation and one client creation using eclipse. For simplicity I will create a simple calculator service with 4 simple service functions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1: Create a dynamic web project.

File -> New -> Project ->

Press Finish and you have a new dynamic web project.

Step 2: Create a simple Calculator class.

package org.bpt.Services;   /** ?* ?* @author Boby Thomas ?* ?* Axis Service Sample. ?* Visit www.bobsindia.com ?* ?*/   public class Calculator { ????? ????? public double add(double arg1, double arg2){ ??????????? return arg1 + arg2; ????? }   ????? public double substract(double arg1, double arg2){ ??????????? return arg1 - arg2; ????? } ????? ????? public double multiply(double arg1, double arg2){ ??????????? return arg1 * arg2; ????? }   ????? public double divide(double arg1, double arg2){ ??????????? if(arg2 != 0)???? ????????????????? return arg1 / arg2; ??????????? else return -1; ????? } }

 

Step 3: Create an axis service from this class.

Right click? Calculator.java

New -> Other -> Web Service

Next

Click on the link and select Axis 2.

Click OK and click Next in Web service Dialog.

Now click on Start Server and wait for few seconds.

Press Next

Finish. You have created a new axis service, deployed it and started the server now.
