Hi Scott I followed all of the points made in the last posting up to point 4. There I had a problem. I have a soap.jar in <tomcat-home>/lib/ directory and if I delete this the container doesn't work with any soap application. I do have the soap web app installed in <tomcat-home>/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/classes, but could you please confirm that I should remove the soap.jar from the lib directory. If this is the case then how do I get around the following exception thrown by the soap client once I removed this jar?
