Its the second thing I <get> after deployment; first is a timestamped properties file. And there is an httpunit test under axis to make sure everything is happy -the JSP throws a 500 if any of the needed files are missing. Customise it for your own project to make sure the jars you need are all searched for in one place, rather than have mysterious failures over time. See also ch12, 'web apps', in Java Development with Ant, from which happyaxis.jsp originated. There we have a nice taglib that does all the tests, the jsp is a standalone instantiation, which has the advantage of drop-in use. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:ant-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:ant-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
