Thanks again LrAu -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Chisholm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5/6/2002 5:45 PM Subject: Re: AXIS Install issue Laurence, Anybody attempting to run Axis with J2SDK 1.4 and Tomcat 4.0 will need to set the Java system property java.endorsed.dirs. "Note: The system property java.endorsed.dirs specifies one or more directories where the Java runtime environment searches for JAR files. You must set this system property only when running J2EE SDK 1.3.x on the J2SDK 1.4." The above quote was copied from the following link. http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/ws j2ee / Unfortunately, I did not see a similar comment in the Apache documentation. Certainly, it wasn't in the installation instructions. I set the java.endorsed.dirs system variable in the %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\setclasspath.bat file. Of course, UNIX users should use setclasspath.sh. The following is from %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\setclasspath.bat. rem Set the default -Djava.endorsed.dirs argument set JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS=%BASEDIR%\bin;%BASEDIR%\common\lib;%BASEDIR%\webapps\ axis \WEB-INF\lib Just add %BASEDIR%\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib.
