Thanks Philip.
Yes, the first the place I go is the documentation, then the forum (to
search) and then Google. If I am stumped, then I bother a human (first
at my company and then post a question). We are all busy people and
answering a question that has been already answered isn't very
productive. However, Googling can be both blessing and curse.
However, I did identify and fix the problem while I was waiting for a
post back. The fact that the URL got a positive response back from Axis
told me that all was well at the installation end. The .net client
issue was a little more challenging. Turns out there is a file that has
a .config extension that has the host name/address and port. It is
buried with a bunch of other configuration files so I had updated the
wrong one. When I finally changed the correct file to use the correct
host name, the .net client began to work. The 404 error was gone.
The IBM RPGLE program was a bit more of a challenge. It was contacting
the Axis application server but Axis (Tomcat) was returning an HTTP 500
message. Using TCPMon (which is a great tool that could use some
slightly better documentation) I discovered that the XML was improperly
formatted. Once that was corrected, the 500 error was gone.
So it was just tracking down the causes for each client app error,
rather than an Axis problem.
I am a bit new to web services so I am still in learning curve mode. I
am documenting this here is case anyone else runs into newbie issues
like this...

Hi Pete,
Did you by change read these two documents?
The big ONE:
Installation: http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/install.html
Then this one: http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html
If by chance you have not I recommend you take some time to go
through these.
There is indeed a bit of reading here but well worth the time. It was
for me anyway.
It is a challenge to help you out at this point not knowing exactly
what you have and have not done
by way of configuration. So it is important that you take some time
and work through these
two documents. They are really good documents and someone spent a
great deal of time on
them to make them so. If you still have problems after following
these, drop a line back here.
