AdminClient problem, getting "Moved Permanently" error

[Jacques-Albert De Blasio]

Hi all,

After having searched for a long time on the internet, and after having 
tried everything I thought possible to try, you are the only help left I 
can turn to. I hope you will be able to help me, as I am getting quite 
desperate...

I am using Axis 1.1, my server is Tomcat 4.1.29. The variable AXIS_HOME 
is correctly defined.

So, here is my problem: I am trying to use the AdminClient from inside 
my own code. That is, I do not use it by invoking it from the command 
line, but I use an instance of the AdminClient class. The code is the 
following:

==========

AdminClient adminClient = new AdminClient();

     String[] args = new String[4];
     args[0] = "-lhttp://127.0.0.1";;
     args[1] = "-p8888";
     args[2] = "-s/axis/services/AdminService";
     args[3] = rootDir + "\\deploy.wsdd";
     for (int i=0; i<args.length; i++)
       System.out.println("arg "+i+": "+args[i]);
     String process = adminClient.process(args);

==========

Of course, the variable "rootDir" is defined prior to this code and 
contains the path to the "deploy.wsdd" file.

When I try to run this code, I get the following error:

==========

       ... continued ...

But when I go to the page 
http://127.0.0.1:8888/axis/services/AdminService, I get the message

==========
AdminService
Hi there, this is an AXIS service!

Perhaps there will be a form for invoking the service here...

==========

And of course, when I use the AdminClient from the command line (with 
the same options), everything goes well...
Do any of you know why I always get this "(301) Moved Permanently" error?

thanks a lot,

Jacques
