AXIS2 for OpenVMS
Version 1.0
Installation Guide and Release Notes

November 2009

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

Apache Axis2 is the core engine for web services.  It is a complete 
re-design and re-write of the widely used Apache Axis SOAP stack.


Requirements
------------

* HP OpenVMS Integrity servers Version 8.2 or higher  
* HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 or higher
* HP Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Java(TM) Platform 
  Version 1.4.2 or higher

Changes in this Field Test Kit
------------------------------

-- Axis2 Version 1.0 (and Field Test B1.0) are based on Apache Axis2 1.3.
The previous field test kit, A1.0, was based on Apache Axis2 1.1.

-- The location of the axis2.war file has been changed:

Old (A1.0 Field Test) : AXIS2$ROOT:[servlet]axis2.war
New (V1.0 and B1.0 Field Test) : AXIS2$ROOT:[openvms]axis2.war


Web Download Instructions
-------------------------

1.  Enter the required information and submit the registration form at
    http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/axis2/axis2_register.html
    to be directed to the kit download page.

2.  Save the AXIS2 for OpenVMS self-extracting archive 
    (AXIS2-V0100-I64.EXE or AXIS2-V0100-AXP.EXE) to a temporary 
    location by choosing the option to save the program to your disk.

3.  If you are downloading to a Windows machine, move the 
    downloaded file to your OpenVMS machine using either a shared 
    network drive or FTP. 

 
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
 

1.  Expand the AXIS2 for OpenVMS compressed EXE file 
    by entering one of the following command, depending on 
    the platform on which you are installing the kit:

        $ RUN AXIS2-V0100-I64.EXE ! for OpenVMS Integrity servers
        $ RUN AXIS2-V0100-AXP.EXE ! for OpenVMS Alpha

    Each EXE file contains the file HP-VMS-AXIS2-V0100--1.PCSI$COMPRESSED
    and HP-VMS-AXIS2-V0100--1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW (the signed manifest file).   

2.  Start PCSI, the utility that installs the AXIS2 for OpenVMS
    component, by entering the following command.  (PCSI installs the
    PCSI$COMPRESSED file directly; you do not need to expand it.)

        $ PRODUCT INSTALL AXIS2

3.  Follow the on-screen installation instructions. 

    To proceed with a default installation, press Enter/Return in response 
    to any other installation questions.
