Upgrade Axis 1.1 to Axis 1.2 CFMX 6.1

[jimmatts2]

Is it possible to change the Axis Engine from 1.1 to 1.2 in CFMX 6.1?

YES this worked for me with Solaris 9, MX 6.1 + Updater, J2EE mode and Java
1.4.2

- install the JRun4 Updater 5
- copy the following files to jrun4/servers/lib/ : axis-ant.jar, axis.jar,
commons-discovery-0.2.jar, commons-logging-1.0.4.jar, j2ee.jar jaxrpc.jar,
log4j-1.2.8.jar, log4j.properties, mail.jar, saaj.jar, wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar (not
j2ee.jar)
- move the file jrun4/runtime/jre/lib/ext/xmlsec.jar to jrun4/servers/lib/
- optionnaly, copy xerces.jar in a directory of the Java Class Path too
- restart MX 6.1
- check the validity of the installation with happyaxis.jsp. The result should
be like this:

The core axis libraries are present.The optional components are present.

guarantee your web service will work, because there are many configuration
options that we do not check for. These tests are necessary but not sufficient

Normally, you don't need to remove webservices.jar and you don't need
activation.jar

If you have MX 6.1 single instance (server mode), same procedure but you can
put all the Axis .jar files (including j2ee.jar) in jrun4/runtime/jre/lib/ext/
and It is not necessary to move xmlsec.jar in this case.
Axis 1.2.1 allows to connect to Web services secured with https/SSL.
