[seek-dev] Howto for deploying ogsa web service.

[Kevin Ruland]

Update:

I haven't changed anything since late yesterday.  I have run ant deploy
and ant redeployTomcat.  The http://xxx:8080/ogsa/servlet/AxisServlet
shows a bunch of services including
samples/counter/basic/CounterFactoryService and
org/ecoinformatics/ecogrid/EcoGridQueryInterfaceLevelOneServiceFactor.

I ran on localhost from the ogsi source distribution directory 'ant gui'
which kicks off some kind of object browser.  I am able to get a
CounterFactoryService/hash-blabla-nastynumber and I can click on the
'add' and 'subtract' buttons and it appears to be returning the
result.   Since I had turned on the RequestDumperValve in tomcat, I can
see the requests going into & out of tomcat.  The response codes are
pretty much 200.  Also, when I direct the gui to go through tcpmon, the
first two requests (findByHandle) show up -- I presume this behavour is
ok since I suspect the response tells the client to use port 8080
(tomcat) instead of my tcpmon port.

Anyway, it looks like the Axis/tomcat/globus setup works for this service.

However, When I finaggle the runFactoryClient ant task to execute I get
back:

<faultstring>The AXIS engine could not find a target service to invoke!
targetService is
org/ecoinformatics/ecogrid/EcoGridQueryInterfaceLevelOneService</faultstring>

It seems that the service hasn't been registered in axis.  I was hoping
that the ant deploy && ant redeployTomcat would take care of that.
