I installed Apache Tomcat 5.5.7 and SOAP. That works. I can see the SOAP admin page when I go to

http://localhost:8080/soap

but if I click "Visit the SOAP RPC router URL for this SOAP server" I get the following:

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.7 logs.

When I check the logs I see:

Can anyone help?

Ok. In the Apache Classpath box I had to specify both the path to the JAR files AND to the directory where they were. EG:

C:\Tomcat\SOAP\
C:\Tomcat\SOAP\soap.jar

...must both be present. I uninstalled Tomcat a while ago though. I hope this helps
