Netbeans and Axis2
1. Install the axis2 support plugin for netbeans (try to get the nbm file and then manually install it)
http://netbeans.org/kb/69/websvc/gs-axis.html
http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/updates/6.7/uc/m2/dev/modules/extra/org-netbeans-modules-websvc-axis2.nbm
2. Whenever you make changes to classes
- regenerate the wsdl
- then redeploy else changes will not take effect
3. If regenerating wsdl generates errors related to ClassNotFound, add all the relevant libraries in axis2-build.xml file for the relevant target
Example: added reference to lucene-core-3.3.0.jar in the classpath
<target name="java2wsdl-WikitologyPrediction" depends="java2wsdl-check-WikitologyPrediction, compile" unless="java2wsdl-check-WikitologyPrediction.notRequired">
<java2wsdl className="wikitology.WikitologyPrediction" serviceName="WikitologyPrediction" outputLocation="${basedir}/xml-resources/axis2/META-INF" outputFileName="WikitologyPrediction.wsdl" targetNamespace="http://wikitology/" schemaTargetNamespace="http://wikitology/xsd">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${basedir}/libs/lucene-core-3.3.0.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${build.dir}/classes"/>
<pathelement location="${javac.classpath}"/>
</classpath>
</java2wsdl>
</target>
