Apache SOAP

Question

Working with the book Programming Web Services with SOAP and working on chapter 3.
Creating Web Services in Java with Apache SOAP
Wondering where do I add the Hello.java to the web server’s classpath if I am running Tomcat Server.
package samples;
public class Hello {
public String sayHello(String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
I’ve used the deployment descriptor to deploy the application on the server
<dd:service xmlns:dd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment" id="urn:Example1">
<dd:provider type="java"
scope="Application"
methods="sayHello">
<dd:java class="samples.Hello"
static="false" />
</dd:provider>
<dd:faultListener>
org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener
</dd:faultListener>
<dd:mappings />
</dd:service>
Trying to run the client with the perl example client.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# hw_jclient.pl - java Hello client
use SOAP::Lite;
my $name = shift;
print "\n\nCalling the SOAP Server to say hello\n\n";
print "The SOAP Server says: ";
print SOAP::Lite
-> uri('urn:Example1')
-> proxy('http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter James')
-> sayHello($name)
-> result . "\n\n"
but getting the result of
Calling the SOAP Server to say hello
The SOAP Server says: 404 /soap/servlet/rpcrouter%20James at C:\Documents and Se
ttings\Administrator\Desktop\test.pl line 7
What am I doing wrong or not doing?
Thanks,
John Cox
