Axis Deployment

Deploying an application to axis (“Axis of Evil”) is more complicated than one might think. First of course you need an application.

Step 1: Compile your app and put it in a jar-file. Copy the jar-file to the %tomcat_home%/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/.
Step 2: Now you need to generate a WSDL spec from your code. Use Java2Wdsl for this. The fork in the ant target in the extended entry is important for me at least because otherwise java crashes because of library dependencies.
Step 3: From the wsdl file you have you now have to generate some java code, which is not needed. But with the -s parameter you also get the (un-)deployment descriptors needed for the axis AdminClient.
Step 3.5: Edit the deployment descriptor (deploy.wsdd) so that the classes referenced are your own not the generated ones.
Step 4: And finally you can use the deployment descriptor deploy.wsdd to deploy your app to axis and don’t forget to specify the port on which the AdminClient looks for axis if it is not the default 8080!

So this is it. Finally. Now I have to figure out some more details.

Lovecraft Spam

http://www.geocities.com/steerp1ke/David_Ehi.html tells of a very interesting nigeria spamming experience. I posted this some time ago on one of our mailinglists. And more to come: http://review.mondominishows.com/happytree.html Yet another weirdo link. The Mondo Minishow is kind of grosse. Another – more recent funny – was this here “Die Sendung mit der Maus”

Linux Printing

After finally getting my printer to work, I see what a nice tool the cups system is. It was easy too install to at least on my debian machine :-) Anyhow afterwards I found something even nicer. “a2ps” which I would call like this:

a2ps files -2 -A fill –borders=off –line-numbers=5 [-C] –medium=A4 -o . . . → Read More: Linux Printing

Secret Diaries

Secret Diaries. This is yet another stupid link I post, but it is really funny. Secret diaries for Lord of the Rings. All I can say is: “Still not king.” I am waiting for the second part. “If he tries anything, Sam will kill him!”
