deployment problem

["Ng Yan Tun, Van Sioung" <VN...@CCSC.com>]

Hi guys,

This is the first time I am using Apache Axis. I have followed that
instruction on installlation.
I am using Tomcat 3.2.

I have already set the classpath for 
e:\todeploy;e:\axisjar\xerces.jar;e:\axisjar\axis.jar;e:\axisjar\commons-log
ging.jar;e:\axisjar\jaxrpc.jar;e:\axisjar\log4j-core.jar;e:\axisjar\tt-bytec
ode.jar;e:\axisjar\wsdl4j.jar;

e:\todeploy is the directory where I kept the sample code to be deployed.



When I tried the deployement I get the following error:


E:\TODEPLOY\SAMPLES\STOCK>java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient
-lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService deploy.wsdd

You might want to think about upgrading your tomcat. However: A common 
problem with Tomcat 3.2 is that it ships with a JAXP1.0 parser; you need 
to ensure that a JAXP1.1 parser such as Xerces (and yes I see this in 
your classpath) gets used instead. This is obviously not happening at 
present - the missing method is a DOM Level 2 addition, but the DOM Node 
class is being found, which suggests you have a DOM level 1 implementation.

The 'correct' way to change the classpath for a web application is not 
to alter the system classpath - which ends up having side effects on all 
applications - but to either bundle the jars with your web app (ie they 
go in %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\your_app\WEB-INF\lib ) or to add them to the 
  server.

In one of the directories in tomcat (from memory, %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib on 
TC3.2 - its %TOMCAT_HOME\common\lib on TC4) you'll find the libs that 
get placed in your apps classpath. In TC3.2 you'll find these:
jaxp.jar     (JAXP 1.0 API)
parser.jar   (Crimson parser, JAXP 1.0 compliant)

You want to /remove/ these two files and replace them with xerces. In 
the most recent xerces releases this involves adding two jars 
(xerces.jar and xml-apis.jar). Earlier releases have a single jar 
(xerces.jar), such as the one you got with axis.

Hope this helps.
