Mahen, WAS5.1 comes with Axis as built-in soap engine so you don't really need to add the axis web app. Jai

To do this, I deployed AXIS as a normal Web Application (i.e packaging the webapps\axis folder in the AXIS 1.1 distribution in to a WAR file called axis.war and deploying this WAR file using the Admin Console of Web Sphere - used default settings). When the context root was requested in deploying the WAR file , i used "axis" as the Context root After deploying, i tried to access the <serverName>:port/<context Root> But did not get the AXIS Welcome page... Can someone pls help in sorting this out.... Do i have to do any configurations when deploying the WAR file ,,,, or ...??? Mahen
