Error while deploying modified Axis2.war

Question

Hello,
I am trying to deploy Axis2 example1 to WebLogic 8.1sp4 but I am getting an error during deploy.
Context:
http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_0/userguide2.html#Writing_Web_Services_Using%20Axis2's_Primary_APIs
Since WebLogic by default deploys in a NON-exploded format - instead of:
"Deploying the service is just a matter of dropping the ".aar" in to "services" directory that can be found in the "\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF" of your servlet container, hence copy the "MyService.aar" into the "services" directory."
I have patched the axis2.war file with \WEB-INF\serivces\MyService.aar and got the following error during deploy:
<Aug 18, 2006 9:52:07 AM EDT> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101268> <ServletContext(id=12699588,name=axis2,con
text-path=/axis2): Failed while destroying servlet: AxisServlet.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.getServletContext(GenericServlet.java:205)

at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.destroy(GenericServlet.java:122)
at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl$ServletDestroyAction.run(ServletStubImpl.java:1
064)
- Is there a guide on how to use Axis2 with WebLogic 8.1?

Answer 1

Got the axis2.war deployed.
Here are a couple links that helped:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/XFIRE/XFire+on+Weblogic+8.1
I was able to deploy a currencyconverter exercise but getting a "Error 404--Not Found"
I took the very same aar file and uploaded to tungsten (see end of article).
What is wrong?
- WHAT IS THE STANDARD PROCESS OF DEPLOYING AXIS2 APPS?
