Try not using long directory names with spaces in them when you're setting the CLASSPATH. I think your AXIS_HOME variable (C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Axis1.2b) or TOMCAT_HOME is the problem. The Java interpreter is having a problem with the command line. Either put it in quotes, remove the spaces, or use DOS 8.3-style file names.
Okay, I haved cooled down now ... . Thank you, that was the right thing to do, but what really gives me the creeps here is that
1. axis itself doesn't give a da*n about spaces in classpath while running - I checked that.
2. the java compiler does not care about spaces in classpath (checked with tomcat and soapmonitor)
3. in summary: all is running well with these little spaces, BUT this.
Well. I reinstalled in directories without spaces now, and I added a FAQ entry on the AXIS wiki, so if other people stumble over this
they don't waste two days with diagnosis ...
Thanks again & greetings & ciao,
Axel.
