yeah, that is a good idea. The servlet.jar I compiled against was the same for all tests as I forgot to change it, which is the servlet.jar in tomcat4.0. So in theory Iplanet could have a problem with that, but:
1. the test fails in tomcat as well as soon as I add the SOAPContext arg to the method. 2. the messaging works fine in iplanet if I just dont ask for the SOAPContext in the helloworld method... it was accidently compiled against the wrong servlet.jar which I'll fix and retry and doubt will fix it. any other ideas?? you're correct, I'm not getting any exceptions that spew to stdout, in tomcat I watch catalina.out where my _log(blabla) messages go (System.out.println()) and all I see is the constructor is called and returns and the first _log message of my helloworld method is never printed, nor any errors. just a fault returned to the xml client. Thanks, Drew
