axis on jboss 3

[Stefan Henke <st...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I´m looking for instructions how to install axis on jboss 3. I know that
there is jboss.net, but I don´t want to use this. I want to install axis
manually.
I found some hints in the archives which said that I simply should pack the
webapps/axis directory into a war-file and deploy it to jboss. I did this,
but everytime I try to invoke the servlet or administer page, I get a
NullPointerException. The corresponding stack trace is listed at the end of
my posting.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Stefan
