RE: newbie: can't get rpcrouter running

This looks more of a Tomcat issue than SOAP. Confirm if Tomcat has been
successfully installed.

Hi everybody,

I try to set up Apache SOAP 2.2 with Tomcat 3.2.3. I made sure
that Xerces is the first entry in my classpath. When I direct my
browser to the rpcrouter I get the following NullPointerException:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Are there any hints what's may be wrong with my installation?
Any hints are appreciated
