Trouble installing Apache Axis 1_2RC2 in Tomcat 5.5.4

[rhimbo]

Hi folks,

I have Jakarta Tomcat 5.5.4 and Axis 1_2RC2, running on RedHat Fedora
Core 3.

I'm carefully reading the doc
http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/install.html, specifically the section
"Setting up the libraries". I've copied the webapps/axis directory
from my Axis installation to the webapps directory of my Tomcat
installation.

I can bring up Tomcat, and go to http://localhost:8080/axis/. I click
the "Validate" link and get one core axis library error:

Warning: could not find class org.apache.xml.security.Init from
file
xmlsec.jar XML Security is not supported

See http://xml.apache.org/security/
The root cause was: org/apache/xpath/Expression
This can happen e.g. if org.apache.xml.security.Init is in the
'common'
classpath, but a dependency like activation.jar is only in the webapp
classpath.


My environment contains the following definitions:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/java
export JAVA_HOME

CATALINA_HOME=/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/
export CATALINA_HOME

CLASSPATH=
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/opt/jaf-1.0.2/activation.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/opt/javamail-1.3.2/lib/imap.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/opt/javamail-1.3.2/lib/mailapi.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/opt/javamail-1.3.2/lib/pop3.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/opt/javamail-1.3.2/lib/smtp.jar"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/opt/xml-security-bin-1_2_0/libs/xmlsec.jar"
export CLASSPATH


Per the "instructions" returned on the
http://localhost:8080/axis/happyaxis.jsp page, I copied some .jar files
from my Axis installation's webapps/axis directory to the
opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/common/lib directory. This solved the problem
for the Java Activation Framework and JavaMail .jar files.

I don't know why it doesn't fix the problem for the XML security.
Help. I'm lost.

Many thanks.

Hi again everyone,

Just to clarify the original question in my post....

I don't undestand the roles of the webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib directory
versus the jakarta-tomcat common/lib directory. For me, they're
located at:

/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib
/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4/common/lib

To solve the above problem with xmlsec.jar not being found, I tried
copying it to both of the above two directories. I restarted tomcat,
and hit the
http://localhost:8080/axis/happyaxis.jsp
page again. No difference. I'm flummoxed. Any help or direction is
appreciated.
