Null serializer factory specified : Axis 1.2 RC2 Bug ?

[Rr Kumaran]

Hi All,

I was trying to use Castor as AXIS 1.2 RC2 (De)Serializers and was
following the tutorials http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-castor/#getcastor.

When I register my service using below lines in server-config.wsdd, the service is not deployed properly and I get below exception.

I am struck with this error from past 5 days and no matter how do I debug I am making no progress. Can anyone please help me. If this is a AXIS bug then I can file a bug report provided anyone faced similiar issues.

I got my Castor (De)Serializer classes from http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ws-axis/java/src/org/apache/axis/encoding/ser/castor/. I compiled these java files and kept in WEB-INF\classes directory :

server-config.wsdd
