AdminClient Deployment problem, possibly user related

[Steven Smith]

I am trying to develop a Web Service and have come to a stage where I want to deploy it to start testing. However, I can't deploy and the error it gives me is totally useless. I have noticed others with the same error on the mailing list, but I can't find an answer to any of them.

 

I am deploying to Tomcat 4.1.24 containing Axis 1.2. I have tried both calling the AdminClient directly and using the Ant task, both of which give the same error.

 

I created the WSDL file by hand and then used that to generate the Java code and WSDD files so I am pretty sure that these are fine. I think the problem is to do with admin users. I have explicitly set the admin password but there is no mention of a username to use with it anywhere I have looked. I can find the password in the server-config.wsdd file but where do users came from? According to all of the documentation you don't even need to specify a user. I have tried anything I can think of, but no success. I am on the same machine, but have enabled remote administration anyway (to no avail).

 

The error message is:

 

deploy:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thankyou.
