Problem with Apache/Tomcat and SOAP

[Sander Brienen <sa...@capgemini.nl>]

Hello,

I have Linux 2.2.12 installed, together with Apache 1.3.9 and Tomcat 3.2.1
Together with that I use SOAP 2.1 and JDK 1.3.

Now I send a SOAP request to the RPCRouterServlet and it gives me the
following error (I got this by adding a printStackTrace to the doPost method
in RPCRouterServlet):

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
        at org.apache.soap.util.xml.QName.<init>(QName.java:80)

It cleanly returns with a SOAP fault response stating that there was a
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError in /soap/servlet/rpcrouter.

I tried a lot of things. I added the soap.jar and xerces.jar files to the
WEB-INF/lib directory in Tomcat. I added these files to the $JAVA_HOME/lib
directory. I checked the classes in the jar-file if it contains the correct
version. All looks good to me. Does anybody have a clue?

With regards Sander Brienen
