I am running soap 2.2 in tomcat 4.0 with xerces 1.4.2, the server is working and the addressbook samples are working. However I cannot get the messaging sample to work. When I run testit.sh I get this error Exception in thread "main" [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: Connection refused; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error opening socket: Connection refused] at org.apache.soap.transport.http.SOAPHTTPConnection.send(SOAPHTTPConnection.java:324) at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.invoke(Call.java:205) at org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient.invokeMethod(ServiceManagerClient.java:129) at org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient.deploy(ServiceManagerClient.java:142) at org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient.main(ServiceManagerClient.java:230) I have all of the approiate jars mail.jar, pop3.jar, and smtp.jar. Any suggestions. Rich Catlett
