If what you wrote below wasn't just sloppy description, your problem is * jar the .class files, put the jar in /lib * run the admin client from the directory the .wsdd lives in
Once you've compiled and jar'd your .java files, you've got no need for the .class files, and the wsdd is used only while the AdminClient is running. There's no need for it to be in your deployment tree. -- Dennis R.

The documentation is excellent if you have everything in one class and one file, but I am trying to use custom classes (something.java) in my services. I have jar'd every .java file, placed the jar files in \lib, placed the .class files in \classes, the .wsdd in \classes, and then run the Admin client to deploy it. When I look at the deployed services in Axis I get a page that says "And now... Some Services," but does not list any deployed services. The Tomcat logs show a "bad magic number" error. Am I doing something terribly wrong here? Any help that anyone could offer me would be greatly appreciated. Daniel Skiles
