OK, so I'll try to tell you what I know. Sorry for the
delay, I was gone during part of the day yesterday...

Very honestly I don't know what the JK2 connector is or,
more fundamentally, what is a "connector" in this context.
If you are able to tell me where and what to look for
(in configuration or log files), I will.
I'll refer to the tomcat installation directory
as $CATALINA_HOME in the following.

No, I took the soap.war file that came with the
soap-2_3_1 distribution and copied to the webapps
directory.

Somebody already answered that and I confirm that
I didn't edit the server.xml file at all. The
war file gets exploded automatically by tomcat.
I did the same with other web applications I
wrote: make a war file and put it in the
webapps directory without putting anything
about it in server.xml and it works just fine.
I don't know if a context declaration would
actually hurt, but I think that your context
declaration has anyway a problem, and that's
your next question:

> have it)?
>From some working contexts I have, I conclude
that the docBase should be the relative path
from the webapps directory, so it should probably
just be
docBase="soap"
for your case. Although again, it's actually
not needed.

This is mine:
<!-- Define the default virtual host -->
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
looks quite the same too me, so it should be fine.

I don't know anything about this and I can't find
the file workers2.properties anywhere in the
tomcat tree so I guess that's part of your
example.
I'll comment on a few more things from your
initial message:

The startup.sh and shutdown.sh scripts are
in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/ directory as are these
other scripts.
~/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14 > ls bin/*.sh
bin/catalina.sh bin/jasper.sh bin/setclasspath.sh bin/startup.sh
bin/digest.sh bin/jspc.sh bin/shutdown.sh bin/tool-wrapper.sh

I may be doing the wrong thing, but I modified
the class path (added a few libraries to it)
by editing the file $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh
On the other hand, I also have added a library
needed by several applications in
$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib/
That's what you are really supposed to do I think.
Finally as for your question:
> I'm beginning to think I'm missing a bunch of JAR's for various things.

According to the documentation on:
http://ws.apache.org/soap/docs/install/index.html
you need:
- mail.jar from JavaMail
- activation.jar from JavaBeans Activation Framework
- a JAXP compatible, namespace-aware XML parser such as Apache Xerces
(v1.1.2 or later).
If you have other non-namespace aware XML parsers on your classpath
then the
namespace-aware parser must be at the front of your classpath. Apache
SOAP will not
work otherwise.
I have included mail.jar, activation.jar and xerces.jar in
my CLASSPATH (by manual editing of catalina.sh, it would
probably be cleaner just to copy those in shared/lib/)
I hope this helps.

Vuko
