Hi Folks, Just started using Apache SOAP (i.e., a newbie question) I installed the Apache SOAP, along with Tomcat. I copied the soap.war into Tomcat's webapps directory. I tested the server (Tomcat) and it seemed to work fine. However, when I ran the client test: java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter deploy samples\stockquote\DeploymentDescriptor.xml I got this error message: Ouch, the call failed: Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception: Fault String = java.lang.Class: method forName(Ljava/lang/String;ZLjava/lang/ClassLoader;)Ljava/lang/Class; not found On the server side, here's the message that Tomcat gave: SOAP Service Manager: Unable to read 'DeployedServices.ds': assuming fresh start Is 'DeployedServices.ds' a standard file? Where is it? (None of the folders seemed to have any such file.) Any ideas on what is causing this error would be much appreciated. /Roger
