<h1>Axis Ant Tasks</h1>
Axis comes with Ant tasks to automate aspects of the
build process inside ant. To use these tasks, you need

<ol>
<li>
    <A href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant">Apache Ant 1.5.1 or later</A>
</li>
<li>
    The library <tt>axis-ant.jar</tt> which contains the tasks
</li>
<li>
    All the main Axis libraries
</li>
</ol>
 <h3>Declaring the Tasks</h3>
 

To declare the tasks, set up a classpath to include the axis task JAR and 
all the dependent libraries. Including everything in the axis lib directory
should suffice  
<p>

<pre>&lt;path id=&quot;axis.classpath&quot;&gt;
  &lt;fileset dir="${axis.home}/build/lib"&gt;
    &lt;include name="**/*.jar" /&gt;
  &lt;/fileset&gt;
&lt;/path&gt;
</pre>

Then use the <tt>&lt;taskdef&gt;</tt> declaration to declare all the tasks listed
in a properties file inside the  <tt>axis-ant.jar</tt> file: 
<p>
<pre>&lt;taskdef resource=&quot;axis-tasks.properties&quot;
  classpathref=&quot;axis.classpath&quot; /&gt;
</pre>

<h3>Creating Java files from WSDL</h3>

This uses the <a href="axis-wsdl2java.html">&lt;axis-wsdl2java&gt;</a> task. 
<p>  
<pre>&lt;axis-wsdl2java
  output=&quot;${generated.dir}&quot;
  testcase=&quot;true&quot;
  verbose=&quot;true&quot;
  url=&quot;${local.wsdl}&quot; &gt;
    &lt;mapping
      namespace=&quot;http://axis.apache.org/ns/interop&quot;
      package=&quot;interop&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/axis-wsdl2java&gt;
</pre> 

The mapping elements are used to list the mappings from XML namespaces to 
Java packages; you can include as many as you need. 
 
<h3>Creating WSDL files from Java</h3>

This uses the <a href="axis-java2wsdl.html">&lt;axis-java2wsdl&gt;</a> task. 

 
<h3>Talking to the admin service</h3>
 
This can be done with the 
<a href="axis-admin.html">&lt;axis-admin&gt;</a> task. 

<p> 
<pre>&lt;axis-admin
    port="${target.port}"
    hostname="${target.server}"
    failonerror="true"
    servletpath="${target.appname}/services/AdminService"
    debug="true"
    xmlfile="${endpoint-stub.wsdd}"
    /&gt;
</pre>
 Here the target.* properties are pulled from a properties file for the 
 system being deployed to, so a single build file can deploy to different
 systems with ease.
