Gentlefolk, I have installed Axis 1.2 and am trying to get it to function under Tomcat 5.0. To get happyaxis.jsp to run I had to configure Tomcat to set ant to fork off the jsp compiles, as I am running java 1.5. Without this the compile gets an error which indicates the first java class that it wants is too recent. Now the jsp files work, but, the jws files do not - they get the same problem.
My question is as AxisServlet gets all of the jws calls, it is therefore the one that is invoking the java compiler. How do I get the AxisServlet to fork off the compile of the jws files? AxisServlet is getting the 1.5 compiler, from java_home, but is not happy as the classes are more recent than, presumably, itself. Does this mean that I have to get the Axis source and re-compile it on my own machine? This seems unreasonable as a facility that allowed the configuration of fork functionality would seem to be mandatory. JWD
