soap install

[Robert Rogers]

I am getting error messages like  NoClassDefinitionError javax.soap.servlet.HttpServlett. Funny, it is in the Common directory of Tomcat\lib\common\servlet.jar.... have set up the classpath with everything can think of as well have edited tomcat.bat to include xerxes.jar first, then soap.jar, mail.jar and activation.jar before tomcat.jar gets put in to it. then I go to the command line and enter tomcat env to set all the environment variables. Next I start up Tomcat. Then run localhost:8080. Everything is fine so far. Then I go to localhost:8080/soap and get the intro. good. but to go to admin/deploy or to visit then I get these stupid messages. Is it a problem that I am running windows 98???? I have includes the soap.war file, and even the entire soap directory in tomcat\webapps. I really need some answer. If you will say classpath, then I need a really good explanation of just what that means. thanks
