axis standalone http server (using non jws services)

[Daniel Perry <d....@netcase.co.uk>]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the internal axis http server (java) and deploy a web
service to it.

If i put my service on as a jws file, it all works fine:
http://localhost:3893/SoapService.jws?wsdl
it gives me the expected wsdl.

However if i try and use the service:
http://localhost:3893/services/xfr?wsdl
I get an error:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

My server-config.wsdd is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployment name="defaultClientConfig"

</service>

</requestFlow>
</transport>
<transport name="local">

</responseFlow>
</transport>
</deployment>

This config works with axis running under tomcat as a servlet.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Daniel.
