Just to clarify-- We have not removed a "webservices.jar" file or made any modifications to our WebSphere install. You haven't described what problems you ran into; perhaps one of the circumstances of my setup is protecting us from the error--the fact that we don't use HTTP/HTTPS, or that we are not hosting any services but merely running clients, or the custom transport layer that I wrote and plugged in (to give us the JMS support we needed).
I'm certainly not saying that the knowledge you have gained is not a good warning for others, but it appears that in some circumstances, Axis 1.2.1 can be used on WebSphere 5.1.

You CTO my skin you alive when the boat load of money you spent on WAS is lost as IBM will void all warrenty and support by deleting this jar. THUS, you might as well go with JBoss in that case... :-) Thank You Mick Knutson Sr. Java/J2EE Consultant BASE logic, inc.
