Hi Ralf,
I'm using kSOAP on Compaq iPAQ, with Personal Profile for Zaurus.
What you need to have on your PDA is the Personal Profile for Zaurus 
(personal.jar ) + the ksoap.jar which already contain the kxml.jar.
Besides putting these two jars on your PDA, you don't have anything to do.
kSOAP.jar allows you to create SOAP clients on the PDA, but not SOAP 
servers. If you want an HTTP server, you could take a look at kHTTP, 
also on the enhydra.org site.
kSOAP does provide a kSOAPServlet, but this servlet only runs in a 
servlet container, which is of course not available on a PDA.
I dont know of any installation guide, but if you need examples you 
could find one at this web site 
http://webservices.xml.com/lpt/a/ws/2003/08/19/ksoap.html It's pretty 
straight forward for kSOAP newbies.
Hope this helps
Cheers
