Akira, >java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/rpc/namespace/QName
is a classic symptom of Tomcat not loading classes beginning with javax... from the WEB-INF directory. I'm not sure exactly with what level of Tomcat that feature was introduced. Also, the above class now resides in jaxrpc.jar rather than Axis.jar. Please could you confirm that jaxrpc.jar is in Tomcat's common/lib directory. Glyn
