[solved] Desperately seeking another set of eyes... (long - sorry)

[Robert Bateman <bo...@sequoiallc.com>]

It appears that my underlying problem has been solved - finally.

In my case, I've been attempting to deploy a web service by embedding Axis 
into my WAR for deployment as part of my web application.  Reading the 
documentation left me a bit confused.  Having asked numerous questions, and 
beating my head against the wall for several days, I'd like to offer some 
additional documentation for the Axis website.

for the install.html,

< <p><span class="note">Note:</span> It is important to note that proper use
< of Axis requires every jar file that your service depends upon to be
< included in your WEB-INF/lib folder.  Forgetting even one jar can cause your
< application to fault with the message "Null serializer factory 
specified."</p>

This "patch" adds a small amount of hard earned knowlege.

THANKS to everyone for their time and help in solving this!
