Well, actually, the developers also included an Apache Xerces library (note that the other Xerces library is Sun's implementation). Apart from that, as you mentioned below there are XFire related libraries. >No, JDK5 works fine with Tomcat 6. The newer JVM is a bit faster, in many >cases. Good to know. And what about Tomcat 5 with JDK6? >It looks like XFire has been superseded by CXF; have you tried that? >http://xfire.codehaus.org/ >http://cxf.apache.org/ Yes, I also noticed that CXF was the way to go, unfortunately this application has not been developed by me and is closed source, so the only option is to use it as it is..with XFire. I mailed both XFire and Sun's mailinglist a few days ago, but unfortunately I'm still waiting for a reply. I guess I'll just have to deal with the fact that it doesn't work with JDK6, although I don't know why. Anyway, many thanks to all of you for helping me out. It's kindly appreciated. Regards, Pieter
