Turns out to be a java version problem - [root@localhost stockquote]# /usr/local/jdk118_v3/bin/java -version java version "1.1.8"
When I upgraded to 1.3.1, everything worked fine first time. However, at http://xml.apache.org/soap/docs/index.html, the version requirement is Java 1.1 or higher. Is there a way to fix the doc's, or *should* the system still work with jdk118?

CLASSPATH is exported, and looks like this: CLASSPATH=/usr/local/javaclasses/org/apache/soap.jar:/usr/local/javaclas ses/xerces.jar:/usr/local/javaclasses/mail.jar:/usr/local/javaclasses/ac tivation.jar:../..:/usr/local/jdk118_v3/lib/classes.zip Nothing shows up in the server logs. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I have confirmed that Tomcat is working okay (it runs everything else fine), so what am I doing? Richard
