Metro/Tomcat6 Deployment issue...

Hi All,

I noticed that my web app needed to have the JAXWS jars put into the Tomcat 6.0.18 lib directory. I thought since I am using JDK 1.6.0_16 that Tomcat would find the jars needed for web services from the JDK but it did not do that.

Then I decided to update to the latest version of Metro and read the instructions for installation for Tomcat 6 and since I assumed metro had all the jars needed so I deleted the JAXWS jars from the Tomcat lib directory and followed the install directions mentioned by Mr. Gupta's blog and the web service did not work. I put back the jars for JAXWS into the Tomcat directory and the web service worked but not sure the jars for Metro are being used.

Anyone have ideas why Tomcat 6 is not picking up the jars for JAXWS that come with the JDK?

Anyone know how to verify the Metro product is being used?

Does Metro replace JAXWS?

Regards,
