ClassCastException: org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender

[Stefan Lotties <sp...@arcor.de>]

hi,

I'm currently writing a realm for tomcat 5.0 and need to authenticate a  
user using some webservice
someone else wrote.
Unfortunatly he just went to holiday and I can't really use his webservice  
since I'm getting the
following exception when invoking a call to the webservice:
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:java.lang.ClassCastException:

   ...

Do I have to put the HTTPSender-handler into a client-transport or so?
I don't know if it helps, but if I use my testclass and instantiate my  
realm and authenticate a user
everything works fine. If I put my realm-jar plus the needed other jars  
like axis into tomcat/server/lib
and let the tomcat use my realm the exception occurs.

ps:
his server-deploy.wsdd 'transport'-stuff looks like:
<handler name="LocalResponder"
type="java:org.apache.axis.transport.local.LocalResponder" />
<handler name="URLMapper"
type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.http.URLMapper" />
<handler name="Authenticate"
type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.SimpleAuthenticationHandler" />

<transport name="http">
<requestFlow>
<handler type="URLMapper" />
<handler type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.http.HTTPAuthHandler" />
</requestFlow>

Using HTTPSender all you can do is authenticate by Basic!
