I fixed it ! Here's the start.sh script I use to launch JBoss + Axis
#!/bin/sh JAVA_HOME=/opt/java export JAVA_HOME JBOSS=/home/stef/Projects/server/jboss-4.0.0 # This is like the fix described in # http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1530 JBOSS_CLASSPATH=${JBOSS}/server/standard/lib/javax.servlet.jar export JBOSS_CLASSPATH # -c standard for Axis to work, check the axis-user mailing list # on 27/9/2004 for that bin/run.sh -c standard Thank you to Matthew and Francisco for their help !
