Thanks for your help. Have the activation.jar in both folders and have set the Classpath to the axis\WEB-INF\lib folder and still cant seem to find it. Its running from a unix server but don't see how that would make a difference seen as all the other files such as axis.jar are found

It is there on my installation and works perfectly. Alternative: try adding it to the AXISCLASSPATH as described in the docs: (windows) SET AXIS_HOME = (axis_home) SET AXISCLASSPATH = %AXIS_HOME%\lib\jar1;...;%AXIS_HOME%\lib\activation.jar; note that this is NOT tested by me, I put it in the lib under the WEB-INF directory within the tomcat tree. ciao & greetings, Axel.
