Problem in installation

[Nilanjan Das <ni...@india.hp.com>]

Hi All,

I am trying to set up the server side for Apache SOAP 2.2. I am on
Tomcat. I am doing the configuration as per the installation guide in
the Apache side. After configuration, I start the Tomcat and then try
the following url from the browser:

http://hostname:port/soap

It works fine. I get the following response.

***************************************************
Apache-SOAP
Hello! Welcome to Apache-SOAP.

What do you want to do today?

Run the admin client
Visit the SOAP RPC router URL for this SOAP server
***************************************************

Then I try the following url:

http://hostname:port/soap/servlet/messagerouter

and I get the following response

***************************************************
SOAP Message Router
Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GET- you have to use HTTP POST to talk to
me.
***************************************************

But when I try the RPC message router url:

http://hostname:port/soap/servlet/rpcrouter

I get the java null pointer error as follows:

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

Can someone of you tell me why this error is coming? I will really
appreciate your help.

Have a good day!

Thanks,
