Hi, Thanks very much for the hints. I look at the log file, launcher.server.log. I found the following entry related to the failure to deploy Axis :-
23/02/2004 13:17:09 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Installing web application at context path /servlets-examples from URL file:C:\jwsdp-1.3\webapps\servlets-examples ContextListener: attributeAdded('com.sun.faces.ConfigBase', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]') 23/02/2004 13:17:09 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Installing web application at context path /axis from URL file:C:\jwsdp-1.3\webapps\axis 23/02/2004 13:17:09 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Error listenerStart 23/02/2004 13:17:09 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Context startup failed due to previous errors 23/02/2004 13:17:09 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on port 8080 Further findings related to the problem :- The Tomcat 5 I used comes with the Web Service Developer Pack 1.3 ( JWSDP1.3) and it should be Tomcat 5.0.19. A moment ago, I downloaded a stand alone Tomcat 5.0.19 from Apache. I can now deploy Axis 1.1 to this stand alone Tomcat 5.0.19. However, my other application which previously can be deployed in the Tomcat that comes with JWSDP1.3 cannot now be deployed to the stand alone Tomcat 5.0.19. I got similar error message related to "contect path could not be started".

If you didnt change anything, they will be named catalina.out and localhost_log.2004.... Is it a clean tomcat installation or did you make any changes yet? E.g. installing another xml parser in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib? Viele Gr?sse, Thorsten -- T. Jungblut Gravon - Das Spielerparadies http://www.gravon.de/
