Hi,

for a course including a short introduction and demo on web services I have to decide, whether to base it on java/tomcat/axis or on C#/.NET. Because I'm using xerces-j already in this course (and for some other reasons), I preffered the java solution. However, I hang with the test installation and I got no answer to my question from this list. Is there another chance for support with tomcat/axis or is C#/.NET the solution to my aim?

The question was:
--------------------------------
with both, the preconfigured version from
jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-preconfigured.zip and the installation from
apache-tomcat-5.5.15.exe I get the following startup messages:

- "Unable to find config file.  Creating new servlet engine config file:
  /WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd"
- "Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and
  javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). ..."

However, the activation.jar (from jaf-1.0.2) is included in the
CLASSPATH (via Windows Control Panel) correctly and a test
application successfully uses the javax.activation.DataHandler class
from this archive.

I wouldn't care for this but the main reason for using tomcat (at the
moment) is the axis-j toolset. While validating the axis installation with
the "happy axis" page I get the same error:
   "Error: could not find class javax.activation.DataHandler from file
   activation.jar
   Axis will not work."
---------------------------------
For my understanding axis inherits the runtime environment from the tomcat server. Of course I experienced with the settings in the autoexec.bat file from the tomcat installation.


Kind Regards
