Hello We are trying to integrate Axis 1.1 with WLS 8.1. Specifically,what we need todois expose a service object of an existing Web Application as a Web Service. Please note that in this scenario, WLS is only used as a servlet container, so we chose to go about it using Apache Axis.
Following the instructions given in http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/install.html#advanced, we added the necessary jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory of our web app and also added the following fragment to the web.xml descriptor: <servlet> <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>Apache-Axis Servlet</display-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.jws</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> However, when trying to access a test .jws file located at the web app root folder, we get a HTTP 500 erro with the following stacktrace: Error 500--Internal Server Error javax.servlet.ServletException: [HTTP:101249][ServletContext(id=3724904,name=Gesddb,context-path=/Gesddb)]: Servlet class com.bea.wlw.runtime.core.dispatcher.HttpServer for servlet *.jws could not be loaded because the requested

The fact that the missing class name is com.bea.wlw.runtime.core.dispatcher.HttpServer seems to imply an association of jws files with Workshop? Please note that during development/testing we have chosen to deploy the web app to the examples domain- could this be related? Any help is greatly appreciated. Has anyone else come across this?
