I found a useful post on axis-users which explained that Axis shouldn't be used with Tomcat 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 -- everything was fine if you used 4.0.1 or 4.0.4b. So... I installed 4.0.4b and sure enough everything was fine. Sheesh -- that was aggravating!
Keep up the good work on this, and sorry to bother you. -- Sheri > -----Original Message----- > From: Sheri Gish > Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 5:56 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Problem instantiating Axis servlet from Tomcat 4.0 > > Greetings, > > Axis is great!
