> s/ant-user/axis-user/g right? yes. Actually the ant-users are more java aware...by the time you are into ant/XML-based build processes you tend to know a bit more about the java. But on our mail list we see people who dont recognise a 404 response from AdminClient, or know what to do when they get a ClassNotFound exception. That said, who has noticed the 50 line message that ant1.5 prints when it cannot instantiate some task like junit because junit.jar is missing, which starts with a list of common causes and ends with 'do not file this as a a bug'. While I celebrate the fact that open source tools and technologies lower the barriers of entry to becoming a Java developer, I do fear for the stability and security of the systems they are building. Once Axis1.1 ships I'll add the HappyClient test code to the 1.2 codebase. We should consider making AxisClient more informative...I filed an enhancement req a bit back about how http errors should be handled better (add the error code as a fault element), so we can analyse the result and print more helpful clues. Like 'look at this in a web browser' before escalating. -steve
