All axis needs is a JAXP compliant parser. It doesnt require xerces in particular . But Xerces is mostly recommended.

Thanks for your response. Do we really need to copy those xerces jar files into tomcat? I did not copy anything, but it works fine. I want to know what impact may have if not copy those xerces jar files. And is JAVA JDK 1.4 xml parser good enough for AXIS server?

Tomcat will not load Xerces.jar and xmlrpc.jar from the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib directory as these jar files have classes in "java" and "javax" package -----Original Message----- From: Ma, Yongjie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 12:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Why I don't need xml-xerves parse installed? I tried to install AXIS + Java JDK 1.4.01 + Tomcat 4.1.18 in the Linux box. If I followed AXIS installation guide to copy necessary Xerces jar files (Xerces_j_2.2.1) into AXIS directory, web services can not be started. And I even can not get happyaxis.jsp work. But if I totally remove those Xerces jar files, it works fine. I wonder if we don't need xml parser jar files since java JDK 1.4 already included xml parser itself. Thanks Jack
