I don't know if you have deployed the sample service you are trying to run. Error:500, it's not able to locate the sevice.
And make sure that 8080 is their in the URL, http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter , if you haven't integrated Apache Web Server and Tomcat to work together. Chandru. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/03/02 03:36PM >>> Hi there, I would really appreciate if someone can help me solve this problem related to running a simple Apache SOAP Sample. I downloaded and installed the following a)Apache Web Server b)Jakarta Tomcat 3.3.1 c)Apache SOAP 2.2 and all the related JAR files like Xerces, Activation etc. I followed instructions as detailed in the web site. I could successfully deploy the web service. The URL http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter works fine. But when i trying to run the Greetings sample client, i get the following error - -------------------------------------------------------------------- [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Protocol; msg=Unsupported response content type "text/html", must be: "text/xml". Respon se was: <head><title>Error: 500</title></head> <body> <h1>Error: 500</h1> <h2>Location: /soap/servlet/rpcrouter</h2><b>Internal Servlet Error:</b><br> <pre>javax.servlet.ServletException: Error building response envelope: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.soap.server.http.RPCRouterServlet.doPost(RPCRouterServlet.java:353) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java) at org.apache.tomcat.facade.ServletHandler.doService(ServletHandler.java:574) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.invoke(Handler.java:322) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:235) at org.apache.tomcat.facade.ServletHandler.service(ServletHandler.java:485) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:917) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:833) at org.apache.tomcat.modules.server.Http10Interceptor.processConnection(Http10Interceptor.java:176) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:494) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:516) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) </pre> </body> ] at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.getEnvelopeString(Call.java:175) at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.invoke(Call.java:212) at GreeterClient.main(GreeterClient.java:22) Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at GreeterClient.main(GreeterClient.java:31) ------------------------------------ I went to the "troubleshooting" site of Apache SOAP and the solution suggested for this kind of error was not of much help. I am stuck with this problem for quite sometime now and would appreciate if anyone can throw some light on this. thanks VS
