Hi Laura, If I read you correctly, what you need to do is persuade Tomcat that the Axis application (WAR file) is installed as the "root" application (i.e. context="/"). You probably need to tinker with server.xml or config.xml there. Maybe asking on the Tomcat list would get you there quicker - I'm not an expert and I know it's changed from one version to another, so I might be barking up the wrong tree.
Then in your (Axis) web.xml, make /axis/services the "welcome-file". These two steps should make http://yourhost:yourport point to the /axis/services resource.

I need to be able to create a service to accept connections from a pre-existing client. Unfortunately, the client in question can only send requests to an endpoint such as <ip>:<port>. Is there any way in the world I can somehow convince/trick axis or tomcat or apache into forwarding such requests to the appropriate /axis/services folder? I've spent several hours trying different settings with apache, tomcat, and even the axisSimpleServer, and have had no luck Am I simply SOL? Should I start shopping around for another SOAP implementation? (and no, fixing the client is not an option ::sigh:: That would be too easy.) Laura
