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
hm. it should work, then - I think :-) . But according to the installation manual you should install axis to (axis_home), *move* the webapps/axis directory to the tomcat webapps dir, and set AXISCLASSPATH to (axis_home)/lib.
maybe it has to do with that (but I doubt it).
second thought: I had problems with spaces in the classpath, but if you're running on unix I doubt you have such things in there, too.
third thought: did you use the "right" activation.jar? maybe it's a version conflict or something. In my J2EE distribution there also is an activation.jar included, but I downloaded the one from the sun homepage (for no reason actually, I just followed the displayed link).
fourth thought: notes about XML parsers in the FAQ (I think): DO NOT EVER HAVE MORE THAN ONE PARSER IN YOUR CLASSPATH. Maybe it's just one jar too much :-) ?
fifth thought: did you read the axis wiki FAQ? there are some useful hints.
... just what I think about before going to sleep ...
hth & greetings,
Axel.
p.s.: if you solve that - write about it. best of all in the FAQ. I would've been happy if someone had solved that earlier.
