Tomcat does not pick up classes from your classpath, so yes, you really do need to copy xerces.jar into the web/inf lib or lib/common directory if you wish other web apps to access it.

In the installation guide that comes with beta 1 the authors write that I should copy xerces.jar to webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib of my tomcat installation. but I already have xerces.jar installed in /opt/java where I keep all my *jar files and all this files are included in my classpath. is this enough or do I have to copy xerces.jar to the WEBINF/lib directory too. thanks in advance for any answer regards markus -- Markus Jais http://www.mjais.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] The road goes ever on and on - Bilbo Baggins
