Charles,Scott, Below is an earlier reply to Andy on the various pathing fiddles I tryed to no avail. In terms of cleaning the system I completely removed Tomcat, (losing all my apps such as cocoon, jive etc). I then reinstalled "tomcat4-4.1.12-full.2jpp.noarch.rpm"
What steps have you taken to install Apache SOAP? If you did anything
other than drop soap.war in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, I recommend you
un-do it. Also, do you have a soap.jar hanging out somewhere it should
not, such as $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext? That will kill you every time.

I dropped the war file into webapps/ and created the directory soap (I did read your either/or notes on install). I went into manager and admin to verify the deployment of soap. The only additional stuff I tried was adding params "ConfigFile" value "soap.xml" pointing to DeployedServices.ds in both the server.xml (an absolute no-no) and the web.xml This allows list.jsp to advance to the call to service manager before pooping.
I have since installed axis as SOAP on Linux has taken a week of my time. But I do appeciate the time spend learning about the classloaders.

I replied:
Been there, done that , got the tee-shirt. The rpm package actually has a file /usr/bin/dtomcat4 which is the equivalent of the catalina.sh script. Because Tomcat4 scraps the system CLASSPATH you can waste time fiddling with it, then progress to shoving xerces.jar in the dtom/cata...sh but it doesn't seem to matter as the old bugaboo about the wrong parser doesn't appear to be an issue. You can override xerces or CORBA ith the webapp classloader in WEB-INF/lib but if you try to put say servlet in the app folder you get a snotty message about "Servlet 2.3 section 9.7.2" q.v. So you really must live with the endorsed libs which appear to be fine based on other apps.
