beginers install problem

 I have started working with SOAP and in the start itself i have cometo a
 grinding halt.

 I tried installing following in Windows98 and Linux9 but still no luck...

 jakarta-tomcat         5.0/4.1.29/3.3
 soap 2.3.1
 xerces 1.4.4
 jaf 1.0
 javamail 1.3

 jdk 1.3

 I had included all the 4 jar files above in 'classpath' for both windows
 and linux. From browser I get the behaviour that soap is installed and
 even deploys the service (not sure whether it service is actually
 deployed), but while going from command invocation through

 'java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient
http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter list'

 error are dumped in both Linux and windows..

 I have been on this for sometime now and i have tried various jar
 versions, but still i can't even get the service listing working...

 if any one could help...
