Christoph, Add the extra libraries that happyaxis can't find into the WEB-INF/lib directory of the axis web application and restart the server. When you re-access the happyaxis page all should be well. (You'll probably need mail.jar and xmlsec.jar as well, although these are optional components)
Hope that helps -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Hilmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 August 2004 10:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem installing Axis Hi, i´m new to the webservice-technologie and i hope that my questions are not too stupid and that this mailing list is the right place to ask them. I have downloaded and installed the Tomcat-Webserver 5.0, then i installed the latest axis-project and put the webapps into the tomcat-directory. When i open the happyaxis-page i get the following message: Error: could not find class javax.activation.DataHandler from file activation.jar Axis will not work See http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html I then downloaded the latest activation framework from the mentioned page and installed it. I put the path of the file "activation.jar" into my classpath-variable but i still get the above message. What could have gone wrong? Thanks for any help or hints Christoph
