Newbie installation problems

[Adam <ad...@btinternet.com>]

I am trying to get SOAP working with partial success on the following
platform

NT4 SP6a
JDK 1.2
Apache 1.3
Tomcat 3.3
Xerces 1.4
Apache-Soap 2-2

The problem I am having is that when I point my browser to the MessageRouter
URL I get the correct SOAP response from the server i.e about not speaking
HTTP GET, however when I try the rpcrouter URL I get the following error

Error: 500
Location: /soap/servlet/rpcrouter
Internal Servlet Error:

java.lang.NullPointerException
 at org.apache.soap.server.http.RPCRouterServlet.init(Compiled Code)

 at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(Compiled
Code)
 at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479)

Anyone have any ideas or pointers ? I have searched the FAQ and the archives
for this list and cannot find this particular error. As far as I am aware my
classpath only contains directories in 8.3 format.

TIA
