I deployed an instance on Axis2 within my JBoss EAP 6.2 server. However, the only way I can add my service files are through the online admin console. This is a problem because when I add them through the console they are added to a random folder within standalone/tmp/vfs. So when I stop and start my server again I lose my reference and I need to re-add them through the console. How can I set it up so that I do not need to re-add my service files every time I start my server?
You can prepackage them inside your war under /WEB-INF/services so that they are automatically deployed with the war file.
e.g.
/WEB-INF
/services
/service_a.aar
/service_b.aar
/services.list
The services.list file in the same directory is a text file listing your aar files ... one per line
The aar files are just zipped Axis archives. They contain a META-INF directory with your wsdl, any xsd files and an Axis2 services.xml service configuration file describing the service.
