Its somewhat unfair to blame the axis docs when quite often they are correct, such as whenever somebody installs tomcat LE (relies on crimson) or runs on any app server that does not expose an XML parser at all. 3. We do hint on axis/index.html that failure to run happyaxis.jsp is normally related to XML parser versions. If you want to add more detailed text, feel free to post the CVS patch I know its kind of ironic that happaxis raises support issues, but the parser problem will stop axis working too. Its just unfortunate that if JSP support is hosed, happy axis cannot complain about not liking your XML parser.
