servlets and services - desperate!

[eddie johnston <ed...@ucd.ie>]

Aargh!!! 
	I've tried all of the suggestions from those who replied (thanks very
much by the way, I do appreciate the help and pointers!), but
unfortunately I'm still getting the error - "Unable to locate a valid
EngineConfigurationFactory" in my logs. There were some suggestions that
tomcat might not be able to find some classes, but I'm pretty sure that
it's something different thats the matter. The init methods below looks
like it should create that EngineConfigurationFactory, and I think that
its probably similar to what I should have, but I don't want to deploy a
service, just use one! Is there something obvious I'm missing (I'm quite
new to axis) - the code below points to a deploy.wsdd file, should I be
pointing to a similar file, only one used for consuming services that
are already deployed (I tried substituting the file below with the
client-deploy.wsdd but it still didn't work :-(

yours in frustration!
