• In order to deploy our service in Axis2 Engine, we
have to describe it (services.xml)
• Service Description file was a simple XML file
• It provides the META information about the service
for Axis2 Engine
• Axis2 Engine will automatically generate the WSDL
file for the service using the Service Description file
8. • Create a directory structure for the service as

been deployed
Service Deployment
9. Service Deployment (Optional)

PHP PHP extensions
then enable ‘php_soap’ extension
• Go to ‘www’ directory by clicking ‘www directory’ in
WAMP Manager menu (or) open <wamp installation
directory>www
• Create a directory called ‘arith_client’
16. PHP Web Service Client

consume the Web Service
17. PHP Web Service Client
• The array indexes ‘args0’ and ‘args1’, the member
variable ‘return’ of the ‘$result’ object and the
parameter ‘add’ (i.e., service name) in the SOAP Call
should match with the WSDL file attributes for each
service call

• Copy the ‘index.php’ file to the ‘arith_client’
directory which was created by us earlier
