Glen, I am no jar file expert myself, but tomcat does not use the classpath (see tomcat.bat) to find it's jar-files. If you want tomcat to find xerces.jar, add it to %TOMCAT_HOME%/lib/container.

But recently i have installed netbeans. The installation did not work because i had xerces in my java_home/jre/lib/ext directory. i had to remove the jar file and add it to my classpath instead. But now when i try to run a client to call a soap method (class) the client calls a NoClassFoundException and with org/w3c/dom/Node. The class complies ok but always throws and exception at the Call call = new Call(); Could anybody tell me why it throws this exception please. i also have the xerecs.jar in my tomcat/lib directory aswell.??? thanks
