Axis2, Tomcat and Eclipse setup

Download Axis 2 WAR Distribution :

Find latest WAR Distribution and download it here 

Install WAR to Tomcat Server :

Extract WAR Distribution ZIP contents and Copy axis2.war to the webapps directory of your Tomcat installation.

Start Eclipse :

Navigate to Server view and start Tomcat,
In a browser navigate to http://localhost:8080/axis2,
Click Validate link – validation report shouldn’t contain any errors.

If any error comes,

Here is how I did it :

1. Right click on my tomcat server in "Servers" view, select "Properties…"
2. In the "General" panel, click on the "Switch Location" button
3. The "Location: [workspace metadata]" bit should have been replaced by something else.
4. Open (or close and reopen) the Overview screen for the server.
