Axers, Thinking I have a handle on how to work and where to place services I went to my services directory to look at my service wsdl file. This is what I got from the url http://localhost:8080/axis/services/FooService?wsdl: AXIS error Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.foo.FooService
My directory structure: axis (directory) |--com (directory) |--foo (directory) |--deploy.wsdd |--FooServices.class |--FooServices.wsdl Note, FooServices.class is part of the package com.foo. My deploy.wsdd <deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"> <service name="FooServices" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="className" value="com.foo.FooServices"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> </service> </deployment> For when it is necessary: Win2000 Axis Beta1 (not the one from Friday March 15) JDK 1.3.1 Axis running on Apache 1.3.20, and Tomcat 3.3 With regards, Michel Bergijk
