Hello to everybody. 

I could not find this kind of things in the archive so I am just asking you 
what it could be wrong with my instalation. 

I can't access my soap. Not even by calling the rpcrouter by browser. It 
gives me the following exception: (full exception at the end of the message) 

javax.servlet.ServletException: Error allocating a servlet instance
        at 
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.allocate(StandardWrapper.java:662)
        at 
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:214)


The root cause of the exception is 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet 

I can start the soap web admin tool. So the jsp stuff runs great. But when I 
try to list the services, crash with the same exception. 

Do you have any idea why? 

Have you encontered this before?



I use java 1.4.1, tomcat 4.1.12 and downloaded the apache soap 2.3.1. 

I don't want to install apache soap by placing the soap.war file inside the 
webapps directory. Though it seems that I should consider this approach too. 

Instead I have done the followings: 
1) Unziped the apache soap
2) copy the webapps/soap from soap dir to tomcat/webapps
3) add the soap.jar into the tomcat/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/lib
4) placed the xerces.jar, mail.jar and activation.jar to the .../web-inf/lib

5) changed the catalina.sh (only in one place, adding the xerces.jar just at 
the begining of the CLASSPATH

start the tomcat. (catalina.sh run) 

What should I do next ?

What have I done wrong ? 

I will try to use the soap.war and check if it works. But... pretty strange 
error, don't you think?

Thanks in advance (and please answer as fast as possible)
