It is desirable to integrate Axis2 better with J2EE Server infrastructure to enable start the server (GlassFish) automatically when the axis2 service is being deployed. Also axis2 war file can be generated and copied on fly if not deployed yet. The target server should be specified in project's customizer.
Here are some pointers from a note from Pavel Buzek: I mentioned in the meeting 2 weeks ago that there may be a way to deploy Axis automatically using j2eeserver API so you would not have to ask the user to do it manually. Even better, if you deploy this way and if the server supports in-place deployment (i.e. deployment from the build location rather then inside the server directory), which tomcat and GF do, you could then just copy .aar files into the build location and would not even need to ask for target location for aar files. I have not tested, but it _should_ work. Here are some pointers: In j2eeserver module look at Deployment[1] that will let you deploy the Axis module. Also look at J2eeModuleProvider[2] that is the description of your module that you need to provide. For a simple implementation of J2eeModuleProvider take a look at ProvidesJ2eeModule[3] in archiveproject module, another implementation is in the web.project module, of course.

axis2 functionality is on update center ( not under development already ).
