What is AAR file?

The AAR file has been categorized as Archive Files. The author of this format is Apache Software Foundation. Additionally, the Archive Files category contains 619 of other files. Apache Axis2 Archive is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Apache Axis2 application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Apache Software Foundation.

How to open AAR file?

The main problem with Apache Axis2 Archive is that the AAR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that AAR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AAR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Apache Axis2

The first step is to check if the computer has the Apache Axis2 program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apache Axis2 in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AAR with Apache Axis2. Below is a list of programs that support the file AAR.

Programs to open AAR file

Remember to download programs supporting AAR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Apache Axis2 with AAR files

If, despite the installed application, the AAR file does not start in the Apache Axis2 application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AAR file with the Apache Axis2 program.

Step 3. Update Apache Axis2 to the latest version

If, however, after binding Apache Axis2 with Apache Axis2 Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Apache Software Foundation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AAR file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AAR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AAR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AAR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AAR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AAR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apache Software Foundation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AAR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AAR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AAR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AAR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
