Hi!
I have a problem running Axis 1.1 on Tomcat 4.1.29. The axis webapp
directory is deployed correctly and the validation of the installation says,
everything should be working, but when I try to access the list of deployed
services (http://localhost:8042/XML2/servlet/AxisServlet) I get a 404 from
the Iexplorer (not a 404 from Tomcat, which says there's no such service).
Simultanously, I get a Java error on my console:
- Unable to locate a valid EngineConfigurationFactory
- Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

In my server.xml, I defined an extra ContextPath via
<Context path="/XML2" docBase="./ROOT/axis" debug="1"
reloadable="true"></Context>
All my Axis libraries are located in jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29/common/lib
(jaxrpc.jar and saaj.jar in common/endorsed). I already tried it with the
dirs in the axis/WEB-INF/lib directory, but with no effect.
Maybe, this has something to do with Tomcat, so here is an extract of the
Tomcat server.xml:
<Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
port="8042" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" debug="1" connectionTimeout="20000"
useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
<Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="1">
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve"/>
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="catalina_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
debug="0" resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
<Host name="localhost" debug="1" appBase="webroot"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs"
prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="localhost_log."
suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
<Context path="/XML" docBase="./ROOT/soap" debug="1"
reloadable="true">
</Context>
<Context path="/XML2" docBase="./ROOT/axis"
debug="1" reloadable="true">
</Context>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
The axis/WEB-INF/web.xml file is like the standard file from the axis
package, didn't change anything.
Maybe, someone can help me or point me into the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
