Dr. Exner:
Don't dismay. Sometimes it takes this listserve of volunteers time to
answer questions.
You didn't mention what platform you're using, but it appears to be
Windows - by you mentioning the Windows control panel.
/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd was created, but you should check it for
settings appropriate for your installation. If it was there to begin
with you might check the path your shortcut executes Tomcat in.
As for the .jar files not being found, you might want to try setting the
path that Tomcat starts in in the shortcut link. There's a place to
indicate what directory to run the program from.

Hi,
for a course including a short introduction and demo on web services I
have to decide, whether to base it on java/tomcat/axis or on C#/.NET.
Because I'm using xerces-j already in this course (and for some other
reasons), I preffered the java solution. However, I hang with the test
installation and I got no answer to my question from this list. Is there
another chance for support with tomcat/axis or is C#/.NET the solution
to my aim?
The question was:
--------------------------------
with both, the preconfigured version from
jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-preconfigured.zip and the installation from
apache-tomcat-5.5.15.exe I get the following startup messages:
- "Unable to find config file. Creating new servlet engine config file:
/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd"
- "Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and
javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). ..."
However, the activation.jar (from jaf-1.0.2) is included in the
CLASSPATH (via Windows Control Panel) correctly and a test
application successfully uses the javax.activation.DataHandler class
from this archive.
I wouldn't care for this but the main reason for using tomcat (at the
moment) is the axis-j toolset. While validating the axis installation with
the "happy axis" page I get the same error:
"Error: could not find class javax.activation.DataHandler from file
activation.jar
Axis will not work."
---------------------------------
For my understanding axis inherits the runtime environment from the
tomcat server.
Of course I experienced with the settings in the autoexec.bat file from
the tomcat installation.
Kind Regards
