In previous versions of Axis, using attachments required javax.mail classes and javax.activation classes. These had to be separately downloaded from axis and came with their own licenses. They can be found either in the J2EE distribution (from Sun) or individually. Many people use the individual mail.jar and activation.jar forms because the licenses were at one time less restrictive than the J2EE license, and because they might already be present in your servlet container. Probably this is all still true in 1.2 beta.
The happyaxis.jsp page should verify that they are missing in your installation. (See the installation guide.) I was unable to find in the Axis 1.2 beta docs information about where to get these jars, but the details are here: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/ws-wsif/java/lib/README.html Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: jagannath To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 5:12 AM Subject: Error deploying web service in Axis 1.2 beta Hi, I am getting the below exception when I try to deploy my web service using the AdminClient utlity.
