WSO2 APP manager tomcat to read config file while start up - wso2

I have the web application deployed as a war in WSO2 app manager1.0.0.The web application has a config file which must be started while the server/tomcat server starts.Where can I have this located or any configurations need to be made so that the config file is read and prepared for the web application to run smooth.

It is not recommended to host back-end Web Apps on WSO2 App Manager itself.
WSO2 App Manager is intended to be used for proxying.
Therefore you can place the web application on a different server. i.e Tomcat / WSO2 Application Server etc.

can wso2ues 1.0 (carbon server) run as a web app?

I'm trying to run WSO2UES (Carbon) as a web application in Apache Tomcat. I've followed the procedure discussed at http://pradeepfernando.blogspot.com/2012/09/running-wso2-carbon-as-web-app-apache.html.
I've added the web application folders into Tomcat webapps folder, configured HTTPS listener of Tomcat. Server logs show that application is successfully deployed and OSGI console is started. When I try to connect to application from https://myIp.com:8443/crbn/carbon, I get a 404 error. There are no exceptions in server logs.
Tomcat error screen contains reference to BridgeServlet: /crbn/carbon, so I know that request is correctly forwarded to BridgeServlet. I guess BridgeServlet can not locate and run the application from OSGI bundles. But I do not have any idea about why and how I can fix it.
How can I diagnose the problem, or is there any available source of information for the correct procedure?
Note: I'm using WSO2UES 1.0, Apache Tomcat 7.0.40. I've tried Java versions 6 and 7.
WSO2 UES 1.0 is based on carbon 4.1.0. AFAIK they are not officially support on web app mode.
can wso2 carbon 4.1 run as a web app (war)?
previous architecture handled using a concept called “Bridge Servlet”, so if you want to run it as previous you have to do some customized work.
here is a article on architecture difference on carbon latest.

Deploying Different WSO2 product as single carbon application project

I am using WSO2 DSS, ESB and BPS for my project.
They are working fine in respective servers. But my idea is to integrate DSS, ESB & BPS into one car file(or some other deployment archive file) and thus making the deployment easier.
I have a Carbon application project created in Developer studio which has DSS project, ESB Config project, BPEL workflow and a Web application in it.
When I export it, it exports only the ESB & BPS and excludes Web application.
Is there a way to generate one deployment archive which would contain all the mentioned project? And is it possible to deploy a java application in WSO2 server since it has tomcat in it?
Thanks in Advance.
You can deploy webapplications in WSO2 Application server. Refer this. There is a server role which is defined in the server and also in the CAR file for each deployable artifacts. So if you are going to use one server lets say application server with DSS,ESB and BPS installed you need to add DSS's ESB's and BPS's server roles so artifacts which has respective servers role can be deployed in bundled server. Please refer following for server role management.
http://docs.wso2.org/wiki/display/AS510/Introduction+to+Server+Roles
Q>
Is there a way to generate one deployment archive which would contain all the mentioned project?
Ans>> Yes. It is possible. Carbon Application Archive(CAR) file is the single deployable module to package all the above mentioned different artifacts type to a single deployable archive.
You can use either IDE or Maven to generate the CAR file for your artifacts. Please refer to Dev Studio Documentation for more information.
Q> And is it possible to deploy a java application in WSO2 server since it has tomcat in it?
Ans>> You can deploy a Java application in WSO2 Application Server but in order to do that you need to convert your application to a Web-Services since WSO2 provides mechanism to expose your applications as Web Services. For that you can use either Axis2 Web Service or Jax-WS web-Service.
WSO2 Developer Studio supports creation of Axis2 Web-Services as well as Jax-WS web services. Please refer to Axis2 Artifact and Jax-WS Artifact Documentation for more information.
Also if you have a Java based Web-Application, you may deploy that Web-Application in WSO2 Application Server and WSO2 Dev Studio supports implementing Web-Applications as well.

WSO2 running server and application in different machines

I am new to WSO2 and web service domain. I created an axis2 service application using wso2 carbon studio under eclipse platform. I installed WSO2 WSAS in the same machine and uploaded this service. based on this tutorial.
http://wso2.org/project/carbon-studio/1.0.11/docs/esb_proxy_service_sample.html#CreatingaProxyServiceUsingCarbonStudioIDE
and able to see the result in eclipse console. Now I want to run the server in separate machine and get the result in eclipse console. Can any one give solution for this.
Just run the server on a seperate machine, and use the IP and port on which the server is running and use that from the client code, in plce of localhost.

Unable to add/import WSO2 JAX-RS service into StratosLive Application Server

I have a WSO2 Application Server, version 5.0.1 installed on my local machine.
I created a JAX-RS service and tested it locally.
The WAR file was built and deployed to the local Application Server successfully. When I log in to the local Application server Admin console, I see it displayed under Applications as type JaxWebApp with 'Find Services' listed under the Actions column.
I have a StratosLive subscription and I am trying to ADD/UPLOAD this JAX-RS service as a WAR file to the StratosLive Application Server. The Admin Console for the StratosLive Application Server is different. On the Main tab, It displays Web Applications and Web Services rather than the Applications and Services on the Admin console for the 5.0.1 Application Server I am running locally.
Consequently, I do not see an option to ADD/UPLOAD my JAX-RS service as a WAR file. The only option is to add a Web Application WAR file (I tried this and it does not work properly - thinks it's a web app) or JAX-WS Web Service as a annotated JAR file.
It looks like the StratosLive Application Server I am using may be a different version (earlier maybe) than the 5.0.1 I am using locally.
Has anyone else been able to ADD/UPLOAD a JAX-RS service to a StratosLive Application Server?
Usually it takes small time to upgrade StratosLive version of a product to latest standalone product version. Now StratosLive has been upgraded to latest Application Server version and you should able to run above use case on StratosLive without any issue.

Web Service on Netbeans

I have created a Web Service in Net Beans 6.9 and deploy it locally. And I am using it via a java SE application by adding Web Service client in this application. How to obtain the link of the Web Serice so that it can be used from anywhere ?
2) From where to obtain WSDL file of Web Service ?
3) How to host a Web Service on the internet ?
Thank a ton in advance..!!!
You could create a new project of type web application in Netbeans.
In the web application, you will then create a web service (NOT a web service client).
For publishing and testing the web application, you will have to deploy it to a web server (e.g. GlassFish).
After publishing the web application, the WSDL file will be typically located at: http://localhost:<port>/<your web app>/<your service>?wsdl
For GlassFish, the default port is 8080.
If your current Netbeans installation doesn't support web projects or you don't have GlassFish installed, I suggest you download and install the latest version of Netbeans with Java EE support (bundled Apache Tomcat and GlassFish server in the same setup).

Hosting SOAP web services on the internet at large has not been terribly successful. For example Google had SOAP based web services initially, and they switched to REST based services in the end. You may want to reconsider and deploy a REST based interface. If the bulk of your code is not embedded in the web service, then you should not have that difficult of a time switching the interface.
To deploy a SOAP or a REST web service, you would need to deploy a 'full' Java EE container (e.g. Glassfissh or JBoss) on a machine with access to the internet. You might virtual hosting e.g. Westhost, Amazon, or there are turnkey solutions like Heroku (note: I'm not endorsing any of the companies listed here; they're just examples). If you just want to deploy a REST based service, any web container will do e.g. Tomcat or Jetty. In addition to services mentioned above you could probably host a rest web service on any service that will let you upload a war file.
