Thanks robert (and to the list). I have done all the things Robert suggests. The "tools.jar" file is in fact on my class path. The "homes" are set correctly.
Interestingly, tomcat is able to compile .jsp files (or happyaxis.jsp would not work). But anything that actually involves a webservice (.jws) file, including examples that come with axis will not compile and in fact fail with the error from my original message. REMEMBER: I'm *not* using a "real" Java SDK at all! I'm not using Sun's or IBM's. I'm using the GCJ suite included with Fedora Core 5. Tomcat is working (compiling jsp's); axis is not (compiling jws's). -- Michael Schwarz > I'm going to try and give some basic advice.
