I have developed a simple Apache-Axis java web service using Eclipse IDE and now it works successfully. I have generated test client also which provide by the IDE automatically. I can see that deployed web service is in the IDE server node when I expand it. (I have already added the tomcat 6.0 server to the Eclipse).
But the problem is that web service is up, only if I open the Eclipse and start the server from the Eclipse server tab. If I exit from the Eclipse, web service will be down. I want to know that how can I publish my web service permanently into the tomcat server and make it always up without opening the Eclipse IDE all the time?
thank you all in advance.
note: I just figure out the prob. when I deploy the war file, it has a different name comparing to actual web service project name in eclipse. I just open up the wsdl and get the actual url from it and type it on the address bar. then its worked !. thank u very much for your help. sorry for any inconvenience…

Currently you are using Tomcat from Eclipse which will ofcourse shutdown as you close the eclipse.
Copy your war file in your tomcat/webapps/
and start tomcat /tomcat/bin/tomcat.exe [or .sh ]without depending on the eclipse
Stop Tomcat.
Delete existing deployment. If you
have previously deployed “foo.war” in
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, then it has been
unpacked into webapps/foo/… You
must delete this directory and all
its contents. On Unix, this can be
done with rm -r
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/foo
Copy WAR file to
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/.
Start Tomcat.
