Null serializer factory specified : Axis 1.2 RC2 Bug ?

[babloosony <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I was trying to use Castor as AXIS 1.2 RC2 (De)Serializers and was
following the tutorials
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-castor/#getcastor.

When I register my service using below lines in
server-config.wsdd, the service is not deployed properly and I get
below exception.

I am struck with this error from past 5 days and no matter how do I
debug I am making no progress. Can anyone please help me.  If this is
a AXIS bug then I can file a bug report provided anyone faced similiar
issues.

I got my Castor (De)Serializer classes from
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ws-axis/java/src/org/apache/axis/encoding/ser/castor/.
I compiled these java files and kept in WEB-INF\classes directory :
