none of the logs mention it? I realize Tomcat does seem a bit bereft of info in the logs sometime. Would it have been a case where it printed to the system console instead? Mine does that sometimes, instead of (or in addition to) the log(s) and I troubleshoot it that way.

I found my problem. It turned out not to be a Classloader problem, but a NullPointer (THANKS TO TIM FOR THE HINT :) ) problem in the server, which I had not found because I don't know how to debug my application in Tomcat and there is no single log in the Tomcat directory that can give me a clue of what's happening. Anyway, the configuration worked as I had it initially: 1) Dropping the axis.jar in the WEB-INF/lib as you pointed out. 2) Stubs/Skeletons and all that had nothing to do with the JNI in axis/WEB-INF/classes 3) The classes for the JNI interface/loading the jni library under shared/classes I think if I can find a way to debug our application in the server, we could get better light on what is happening and solve problems a lot quicker :|. It's like driving blind right now :|. Anybody knows how to debug remotely axis/tomcat apps? --Luis R.
