Hi all, I've been searching through the user archives for a solution to my problem but haven't found anything so I hope you don't mind me mailing this out.
I have put the axis webapp into the webapps dir of my tomcat installation (tomcat4 debian package). I copied all of the jars from the axis package into /tomcatroot/common/lib as I wasn't sure what was going on with happyaxis.jsp. The happyaxis jsp reports the following: === Found SAAJ API (javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage) at an unknown location Found JAX-RPC API (javax.xml.rpc.Service) at an unknown location Error: could not find a dependency of class org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet from file axis.jar Axis will not work See http://xml.apache.org/axis/ The root cause was: null This can happen e.g. if org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet is in the 'common' classpath, but a dependency like activation.jar is only in the webapp classpath. Found Jakarta-Commons Discovery (org.apache.commons.discovery.Resource) at an unknown location Found Jakarta-Commons Logging (org.apache.commons.logging.Log) at an unknown location Found Log4j (org.apache.log4j.Layout) at an unknown location Found IBM's WSDL4Java (com.ibm.wsdl.factory.WSDLFactoryImpl) at an unknown location Found JAXP implementation (javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory) at an unknown location Found Activation API (javax.activation.DataHandler) at an unknown location === axis.jar seems to be in the correct location (ie, from default distribution as well as /common/lib) In the tomcat localhost logs there is a stack trace starting with : === 2004-09-27 19:15:25 StandardContext[/axis]: Servlet /axis threw load() exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class org.apache.axis.transport.http.AdminServlet === I'm not sure where to start hunting for the cause of this problem - please could someone help? Many thanks, Keeran
