[Axis 1.4] Can't create new instance of client proxy in Servlet

[Angus Macdonald <an...@st-andrews.ac.uk>]

 Hello,

I'm trying to create a new instance of an Axis client class (Locator) using
the Class.newInstance() method. It works when running in a Java Application,
but not when I try to use the code in a servlet.

I'm running the servlet in Tomcat 5.5.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and any way to fix it?

Regards,

Angus.
