Unable to read 'DeployedServices.ds'

["Roger L. Costello" <co...@mitre.org>]

Hi Folks,

Just started using Apache SOAP (i.e., a newbie question)

I installed the Apache SOAP, along with Tomcat. I copied the soap.war
into Tomcat's webapps directory. I tested the server (Tomcat) and it
seemed to work fine.  However, when I ran the client test:

java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient
http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter deploy
samples\stockquote\DeploymentDescriptor.xml

I got this error message:

Ouch, the call failed:
  Fault Code   = SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception:
  Fault String = java.lang.Class: method
forName(Ljava/lang/String;ZLjava/lang/ClassLoader;)Ljava/lang/Class; not
found

On the server side, here's the message that Tomcat gave:

SOAP Service Manager: Unable to read 'DeployedServices.ds': assuming
fresh start

Is 'DeployedServices.ds' a standard file?  Where is it?  (None of the
folders seemed to have any such file.) Any ideas on what is causing this
error would be much appreciated.  /Roger
