[wtp-dev] New Axis2 Web services tools in WTP 2.0

[Kathy Chan <kathy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Please note that the Axis2 [1] Web services
runtime is now supported by the Web services tools in this week's WTP 2.0
integration driver.  You can now create bottom-up, top-down Axis2
Web service and  Axis2 Web service client using the Web services tools
that is currently in WTP.

This is the result of the initial contribution
by WSO2 [2] to integrate Axis2 into WTP (RFE 165664) [3] and includes the
following RFEs:

- 168762 - Create Axis2 bottom-up and
top-down Java Web service. [4]
- 172186 - Create Axis2 Web service
client. [5]
- 168765 - User-specified Axis2 runtime
location. [6]
- 168766 - Adding Axis2 facet. [7]
- 168937 - Axis2 preference page. [8]

Please refer to the "Axis2 integration
in WTP" wiki [9] for more information on the ongoing Axis2 integration
effort and for RFEs being considered for post-WTP 2.0.

Two new Axis2 Web services tools tutorials
have been created under the Web Services tutorials section in the WTP Web
site:

- Creating bottom-up Axis2 Web service
[10]
- Creating top-down Axis2 Web service
[11]

In addition, a Webinar "Introduction
to Web services tools in WTP" [12] will be held on May 3 at 3:00 pmGMT
(11:00 EST).  This would include a demonstration of the Axis2 Web
services tools.
