Weblogic 5.1 and Soap 2.2

[Michael Immell <MI...@sagent.com>]

Hey everyone,

I trying to load Apache Soap into Weblogic 5.1. Whenever I try to view the
"rpcrouter" page to verify that the servlet is working, I get the following
java exception...

java.lang.NullPointerException

I have exhausted all of the things I can think of. I can deploy, undeploy,
and list servlets from the /soap/admin/ page just fine, but again, if I try
to use the examples or load, I get the same error.  I have followed the
instructions on installing soap inside weblogic and done everything else I
can think of. 

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks for your time....
