I am currently testing my soap setup, and it is not working. I am running two separate instances of tomcat4 one is the soap server and one is the client, the connection is also running over SSL. Previously when I have just been testing my soap server, I have been accessing it from a stand alone version of my client, and it works fine. Lately I have put my client together, it is a servlet, and I am running it in it's own instance of tomcat. It is now not working whenever I try to access the soap server from my client I get a Tomcat Error 403 access forbidden error. I have tested the connection over both https and http, and with both the connection is made and then closed imediately by the server. I have enough debugging stuff running that I can verify this. Does anybody have any idea where to look, as far as I can tell the problem is somewhere within SOAP. Please help. Thanks Rich Catlett
