Tomcat 4.1.18, JDK 1.4.1, & Soap

[J M Craig/Alpha-G]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have this working? I understand that 1.4 has rather different XML processing class organization (presumably Xerces.jar isn't necessary). But, do I need to remake the soap.jar and war files with 1.4 in order to make this all work? (I didn't do that because I thought I'd give the .war file a shot and see if it happened to work.)

The instructions relating to Tomcat don't seem to match up with what's installed on my system (I don't find any .sh files, for instance--maybe I should look harder?)--at any rate, I can't see how to change the CLASSPATH settings as described for earlier versions of Tomcat.

I'm using Tomcat 4.1.18, JK2 connector to Apache2, and Java 1.4.1 all on RH Linux 8.0 (I should never try this many new things at once....).

At any rate, I've put the soap.war file into the webapps directory and modifed the Tomcat server.xml file to point to it (I think I did this right--my experience with the correct setting for .war files is limited) and added a section to the JK2 /Apache-side workers2.properties file to ID the context too. The error I get is from "Apache Tomcat/4.1" The requested resource <path here> is not available.

This looks like the kind of error I'd expect if the war file weren't there at all or it hadn't been registered properly.

Suggestions welcomed!

John
