RE: newbie: can't get rpcrouter running

[Herbert Bock]

Hi Amol,

I ran the Tomcat JSP and Servlet Examples from the
Tomcat home page to make sure that Tomcat was installed
properly. There were no problems at all.

Meanwhile I recompiled RPCRouterServlet.java with some
debug statements. This way I found out that 
getClass().getClassLoader() in the very first line in 
the init() method returns null.

What can cause this problem?

Regards,
Herbert

This looks more of a Tomcat issue than SOAP. Confirm if Tomcat has been
successfully installed.

Hi everybody,

I try to set up Apache SOAP 2.2 with Tomcat 3.2.3. I made sure
that Xerces is the first entry in my classpath. When I direct my
browser to the rpcrouter I get the following NullPointerException:

Are there any hints what's may be wrong with my installation?
Any hints are appreciated

Thanks,
