Installation on iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP3

[Jesus M. Salvo Jr.]

Anyone installed Apache SOAP 2.3.1 on IPlanet Webserver ( IWS )6.0 SP3?
I currently have Apache SOAP 2.3.1 installed and working okay including my SOAP services on Tomcat 4.1.8., but I would also like to use it with iPlanet Webserver 6.0 ( includes support for Servlet 2.2 and JSP 1.1 ).. The installation documentation at Apache SOAP web site is for iPlanet _Application_ Server, not iPlanet Webserver ( different beasts altogether )

The problem I am having is that the Apache SOAP installation seems to have worked fine by doing the following:

* Deployed soap.war via the Web GUI tool to deploy a web application. This extracted soap.war into /usr/iplanet/servers/<server-name>/web-apps/soap ( This directory is specified during the deployment in the previous step )
* Restarted IWS just to make sure.
* Able to point my browser to http://192.168.0.82/soap
* Able to view the Apache SOAP admin page, list deployed services, etc ...
* Able to view http://192.168.0.82/soap/rpcrouter and it said: "Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GET- you have to use HTTP POST to talk to me."
* Able to deploy my SOAP messaging services via the Apache SOAP command line ( java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient http://192.168.0.82/soap/servlet/rpcrouter deploy mm7.xml ) .. where mm7.xml is the SOAP deployment descriptor

So what's my problem?

When I send a message to my SOAP messaging service, I get the following SOAP fault back from the server:
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception:</faultcode>
<faultstring>org/apache/soap/util/xml/XMLJavaMappingRegistry</faultstring>
<faultactor>/soap/servlet/messagerouter</faultactor>

</stackTrace>
</detail>


It could not find org/apache/soap/util/xml/XMLJavaMappingRegistry ... even though that class is in the directory ( exploded from soap.war by Iplanet ):
/usr/iplanet/servers/<server-name>/web-apps/soap/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/soap/util/xml/.

... which is weird given that it was able to load the MessageRouter and RPCRouter servlets, but not the XMLJavaMappingRegistry??

I have tried putting soap.jar into the /usr/iplanet/servers/<server-name>/web-apps/soap/WEB-INF/lib directory, restarted IWS.
Same error.

I have also tried putting soap.jar in the server's CLASSPATH as specified in
http://docs.sun.com/source/817-0540-10/app_c1.html#14137

Same error.


Any ideas?
