I am glad you got your configuration working. FYI, the Tomcat 5 installation instructions say the following.
>>>> IMPORTANT: With Tomcat 5.0, you do not need to change the startup scripts. You need to place the jars for JavaMail and Java Activation Framework in a directory where a Tomcat class loader can find them. You need to place Apache SOAP files within Tomcat's webapps directory. Copy the jars for JavaMail (mail.jar) and Java Activation Framework (activation.jar) into %CATALINA_HOME%/shared/lib. <<<< Scott Nichol Do not send e-mail directly to this e-mail address, because it is filtered to accept only mail from specific mail lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Sauyet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 12:59 PM Subject: RE: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet I was assuming that the classpath the OP was discussing *was* the one in Tomcat. I added mail.jar, activation.jar, and soap.jar to the classpath built in one of the batch files (catalina.jar) Tomcat uses at startup. Then I deployed soap.war. I had this same issue. When I removed soap.jar it went away. -- Scott Sauyet -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 1:54 PM To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet I cannot understand why this would be true. The Tomcat 5 Class Loader HOW TO (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat 5.0 doc/class loader howto.html) states the standard Tomcat 5 startup scripts ($CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh or %CATALINA_HOME% \bin\catalina.bat) totally ignore the contents of the CLASSPATH environment variable itself, and instead build the System class loader from the following repositories ... In other words, Tomcat effectively builds its own CLASSPATH, ignoring whatever you have set in the environment. Do you run Tomcat using its standard startup scripts (such as start.bat)?

Then I launch startup.bat, and I enter in IE the url localhost:8080/soap/index.html . Then I click in deploy and have this error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet org.apache.jsp.admin.deploy_jsp._jspService(deploy_jsp.java:59) org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:133) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:3 11) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:301) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:248) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) My env is : CLASSPATH : E:\travail\javaLib\soap 2_3_1\lib\soap.jar;E:\travail\javaLib\xerces 2_6_2\x mlParserAPIs.jar;E:\travail\javaLib\javamail 1.3.1\mail.jar;E:\travail\javaL ib\jaf 1.0.2\activation.jar CATALINA_HOME : D:\Program Files\jakarta tomcat 5.0.19 JAVA_HOME : C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04 I haven't modify or create any conf file .. The prob seems to be a classpath prob, apache soap seems not to find soap.jar and all the other jar .. But I could not solve this problem !! Is someone has an idea ?
