there's some problem with what java.util.hash takes as parameters. Replacing Apache libraries with one's from Sun's JWSDP doesn't fix the problem. Only solution is to tool back the JVM to 1.4. grrr. -- Andy
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/04/04 02:51PM >>> I'm versioning back to Axis 1.1 and I've installed it in the usual manner under tomcat 5.5. The happy axis page shows that Axis is happy. Axis correctly generates WSDL for all deployed services. However, an attempt to run any service, even something simple like the bundled getVersion service, returns a NullPointerException as a fault. No additional information or stack trace is seen in the log. The only other clue is that Axis doesn't seem to be able to auto-generate the server-config.wsdd. It seems able to read one if you put it in the right place. This is the first time I've tried Axis 1.1 in Tomcat 5.5. Axis 1.2 does not display this behavior and Axis 1.1 under Tomcat 4 does not display this behavior. I can't version back up to Axis 1.2 because of the way it handles soap encoding with .NET clients. Please help, -- Andy
