Currently you cannot do org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient https://localhost:445/soap/servlet/rpcrouter deploy deploymentdescriptor you get an error about https being an unrecognized protocol. When I mentioned this problem I was told to try the admin client or to try and deploy via http and then access the services via https, because the ServiceMangaerClient would have to be rewritten to work via https. Are there any plans to fix this. Rich Catlett
