I am using example2 which is demonstrating instant deployment. So...yes...I have placed the Calculator.jws file in the webapplication directory and it is getting compiled and the class is the jwsClasses directory. I have turned on the TCPMonitor and I am getting a nullpointerexception thrown in the in the invoke method of the AxisServer. The msgContext TargetService is null and the OperationDescription are null....So...that's the problem, but I'm not sure why.
Here's the stack trace I am getting on the server: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Server: WebSphere Application Server/4.0 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=0000FNLZL1BTVRO1CHYIV3XWAGI:-1;Path=/ Cache-Control: no-cache="set-cookie,set-cookie2" Expires: Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT Content-Language: en Connection: close <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body> <soapenv:Fault> <faultcode xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">ns1:Server.userException</faultcode> <faultstring>java.lang.NullPointerException</faultstring> <detail> <ns2:stackTrace xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">java.lang.NullPointerException
