Deploy problem

[Martin Smith <mf...@erols.com>]

I've written a trivial java class and it works OK with the jws 
deployment method.

However, I can't get it successfully deployed via wsdd.  I get no error 
during deployment, but when I try to get the wsdl I get a nullpointer 
exception.  And when I try to access it with a simple client, I also get 
a nullpointer.  Neither stack trace is enlightening to me.

I see nothing wrong with the server-config.wsdd (below.)  When I browse 
to the installed service list, my service (WPService) shows up (however, 
I can't get the wsdl, as I said); but the "Version" built-in service 
does not show up until I undeploy my service!.

I'm using JDK 1.3.0, WinXP, and Tomcat 4.0.1 with the Axis Oct 7, 2002 
v. 1.0 release.

Suggestions?

TIA,

Martin

PS--Is the wsdd class name defined relative to the app root (axis) or 
the axix/WEB-INF/classes directory?  All the examples seem to have 
identical class files in both places, so it's hard to tell for sure . . 
. I assume both class files are not actually required?
