Description

I'm new to Axis and web services, but have good experience in Java/J2EE web application development.

I installed to Tomcats on my computer (5.5.7 and 5.0.28), and both are configured to run with JDK 1.5.0._01.

Both web containers are in their default configurations.

I deployed Axis sample project on both,
when I click on "Call a local endpoint (http://localhost:8080/axis/EchoHeaders.jws?method=list)" the correct result page is shown on Tomcat 5.0.28, but an exception is thrown on Tomcat 5.5.7, the result on Tomcat 5.5.7 is:
