Well, first get all the required JAR files - Xerces.jar Activation.jar bsf.jar js.jar soap.jar
downloaded and installed (as instructed). Now if you are using APACHE WEBSERVER and TOMCAT, place all these JAR files in the webapps/soap/WEB-INF/lib directory. Edit the "tomcat.bat" in the <Tomcat>/bin directory and make the CLASSPATH to point to the location which has the JAR Files. Restart the service and you should be able to access the test URL fine. Hope this helps. VS Aurore Michiels wrote: > Hi, > > How did you manage to have the URL > http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter works fine.
