Hello Brian, you were right. I forgot that the classpath for tomcat has to be set in the tomcat startup script (tomcat.bat on my machine). But now i ran into another problem. The log4j.properties file isn't read anymore! I put it in axis.jar, in the classes directory, in the lib directory, used the TOMCAT_OPTS environment variable... where is the problem? is there an order in the CLASSPATH for the log4j, commons-logging and axis libraries?
