Yet more newbie configuration and other questions

[Edward Garson <EG...@Channel4.co.uk>]

Hello Soapers

I've had a very good crack at this, now I beseech you to help me, please.

Win2K - Apache SOAP 2.0 - Tomcat 3.1 - xerces 1.3.0 (downgraded after the
very common xsd error which I aslo had!)

1) Firstly, I am unable to deploy the examples from the command line:

This is executed from the directory of the service I wish to deploy, which
includes successfully compiled .class file in addition to
DeploymentDescriptor.xml:

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

This is the response:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/Node
at
org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient.<init><ServiceManagerClient.java
:78> at
org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient.main<ServiceManagerClient.java:1
78>

Sure, NoClassDefFoundError ocurrs when JAVA_HOME\bin isn't on the system's
CLASSPATH... but mine IS -- I am able to compile java source files from any
directory, which proves this is not the problem... right?

However, I can invoke the XML-SOAP admin tool and successfully deploy
services from there. I can also get responses from the rpcrouterservlet, but
they are unfortunately faultcodes. I have also been careful wrt CLASSPATH
order; Tomcat displays 'using classpath' with xerces.jar FIRST as required,
and includes all the other standard .jar files including activation.jar and
mail.jar etc. etc.

2) When I read 'put blah blah into your classpath' can I assume this refers
EXCLUSIVELY to Tomcat's classpath, and never refers to my 'normal' Windows
boot CLASSPATH?

3) I USED to get 'unable to resolve xsd blah blah' so I downgraded to xerces
1.3.0, but now I get 'method getPrime not supported', yet when I invoke
details from XML-SOAP Admin tool I clearly see that the method in question
is listed, that the class is on Tomcat's CLASSPATH, and that it is spelled
correctly. What gives? 

I am somewhat of a java newbie, and a total soap newbie -- assume no
knowledge on my part!!

I am most grateful to the community for helping me, and will endeavour to
help others in the future.
