Installation Guide and Release Notes

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

Apache AXIS2 for OpenVMS is the core engine for web services. It 
is a complete redesign and rewrite of the widely used Apache Axis 
SOAP stack.

* 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 Kit
------------------------------

-- AXIS2 Version 1.1-1 for OpenVMS supports the new Java version 1.6-1. 
   Kit also contains improved installation script and improved documentation.
   The AXIS2 Version 1.0 for OpenVMS has support up to Java version 1.5-0.


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 self-extracting archive for OpenVMS 
    (AXIS2-V0101-1-1.PCSI_SFX_I64EXE or AXIS2-V0101-1-1.PCSI_SFX_AXPEXE ) 
    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
-------------------------
 
Note: If AXIS2 Version 1.0 for OpenVMS is removed from the system before 
installing the AXIS2 Version 1.1-1 or Version 1.1 for OpenVMS, then the 
logical AXIS2$ROOT has to be manually deassigned because there is a 
flaw in the Un-Installation script of the AXIS2 Version 1.0 for OpenVMS 
kit.


1.  Expand the AXIS2 for OpenVMS compressed EXE file by entering the following
    command: 

    $ RUN AXIS2-V0101-1-1.PCSI_SFX_I64EXE or RUN AXIS2-V0101-1-1.PCSI_SFX_AXPEXE

    Each EXE file contains the file HP-VMS-AXIS2-V0101-1-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED
    and HP-VMS-AXIS2-V0101-1-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW (the signed manifest file).   

2.  Start PCSI, the utility that installs the AXIS2 for OpenVMS
    component, by entering the following command:  

    $ PRODUCT INSTALL AXIS2

    (PCSI installs the PCSI$COMPRESSED file directly. You do not have to 
    expand it.) 
     
3.  Follow the on-screen installation instructions. 

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