Other than needing access to an XML parser, I don't think there's much the Axis server needs beyond what you already have in Tomcat. You should be able to just drop Axis in to Tomcat and have it run almost immediately, unless you have a non-standard configuration.
Maybe apache SOAP required it, but it seems doubtful. It seems like the reported error is more of a Tomcat problem. If you install Axis and get the same error, please report back to us.

I also would recommend Axis, but if you put the jar files in common/lib you will not be able to reload your app. At least that happened to me with axis 1.1 under 5.0.28... That also breaks the "rule" that the app should be as self-contained as possible to make it as portable as possible.

Apache SOAP is the original apache SOAP implementation. I recommend you check out apache Axis, its successor. I have Axis 1.2 (formerly ran 1.1) running in Tomcat 5.5.8, and I had it running in Tomcat 4.x for over a year. Just make sure that the jar files that Axis needs are in the common/lib directory (if Tomcat needs them also). Not sure if HttpServlet is in that catagory, but worth a try.

Hi all;
being into the state of having to check out several SOAP implementations to decide which one to be used for a certain project, I currently (for the first time) am "playing around" with Tomcat and Apache SOAP, trying to get a simple SOAP service up and running... Actually, I'm not very close to that, right now, getting stuck in the very first stage of getting Tomcat to work with Apache-SOAP:
* Tomcat itself is up and running.
* http://localhost:8080/soap/ works
* Trying to access http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter ends up with an error message like this:

Googling for that error left me pretty helpless since I by now tried several hints regarding problems with Apache SOAP on top of Tomcat 4.x, but none of these worked. So, can anyone enlighten me on where to tweak to make the SOAP package find the javax.servlet package? System I'm running:
Debian unstable Tomcat 5.5.9 JDK 1.5.0 Apache SOAP 2.3.1
Additionally: Are there any other implementations of SOAP for Tomcat that might be worth investigating?
Thanks for your patience and bye, Kris
