To deploy or redeploy an Axis2 web service in the IDE, right-click on the web service's node and select Deploy to Server. The IDE compiles an Axis2 AAR file and copies it into the application server's axis2.war file, or the folder to which that WAR file is unpacked. If you are using Tomcat Manager or GlassFish with axis2.war in the /autodeploy folder (see Setting Up Axis2 WS Deployment), the WAR file is deployed automatically. Otherwise you need to use application server tools to deploy the WAR file manually.
