Regarding the Message Server for CVS The files were way to big for email. I put them on my FTP server. You can retrieve them there. ftp.eagleinfosystems.com user: vcuser password: Vcusr123 I did the UML with the Omondo Free UML plugin. This way you can alter or update and then convert to .gifs when they are like you want. To run the project you will need: 1. Eclipse 3.01 2. MyEclipse (current version) costs $30 at http://www.myeclipseide.com/ (need it to debug/deploy to Axis) 3. Tomcat 5 - download at Jakarta Site 4. Ant - download at apache site I have included the omondo plugin installer for eclipse on my ftp site NOTE: the axislib directory on the FTP site are the files you need on your classpath to run the deploy undeploy wsdd scripts. The documentation is in JavaDoc form in the workspace folder on the FTP site in the /doc subfoler. Go to index.html and i have integrated some howto/explanation in with the normal javadoc stuff. The UML diagrams are in the workspace and you can view/edit them by installing the Omondo plugin on the FTP site. I just added another zip to the ftp server: endorsed.zip it's what you need in thte tomcat/common/endorsed folder. this is what fixes all the classpath errors when running axis test client. Let me know if this all gets installed correctly and you can run. I will be working on connecting this basic example to Spring. John Menke E-mail john.menke@eagleinfosystems.com
