[enjoylife]

I was following your great tutorial : Webservices with Axis2 and the
Eclipse Web Tool Platform (WTP) - Tutorial @
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Webservice/article.html

I have Tomcat 5.5, Axis 2 1.4.1 and Eclipse galileo. with WTP 3.1

however, in step 3.3, after i click the start server button, the
following exception is always thrown in eclipse console:

found the root cause it is because eclipse always publish axis 1.5
libraries into C:\tomcat\wtpwebapps\HelloWorld\WEB-INF\lib even though
I changed from axis1.5 to axis1.4.1 in preference: Axis2 Preferences.


I cleaned up everything and reconfigured axis1.4.1. now it works fine.
shot, it wasted me more than 10 hours and frustration.

Hi,

sorry for my late response.

The article http://www.vogella.de/articles/Webservice/article.html
actually describes that only 1.4.1 is supported:

http://www.vogella.de/articles/Webservice/article.html#installation_axis2

In my example if you configure Eclipse correctly it will push 1.4.1 to
the right directory.

Best regards, Lars

Lars:

thanks for your reply. your set of tutorials are so great, I really
appreciate your sharing and effort to organize them so nicely.

I initially set axis2 1.5, then changed it to axis2 1.4.1 per notes
from your tutorial, however, Eclipse didn't push 1.4.1 lib into my
project.
I have to clean up and build from scratch. hope my experience can help
others if they face the same issue.


best regards!
