I'm glad to hear that Axis is working for you. On RedHat 7.3, I just did the following
1. Untarballed jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12.tar.gz to /usr/local (i.e. creating directory /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12). 2. Copied soap.war (from a recent nightly build) to /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/webapps. 3. Ran /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/bin/startup.sh. 4. Deployed, ran, undeployed samples (configure, gzip, addressbook) from a Win2k client with no problems. My environment on the RedHat box: 1. No CLASSPATH 2. JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-131 3. No java in PATH I conclude that Apache SOAP *can* install as advertised on Tomcat 4.1.12, but there are factors that cause it to fail which have not yet isolated.
