I’ve now got apache axis set up so that it provides a web service, which can be consumed by other programs. This took a bit of fiddling around (restarting tomcat numerous times) but that was mainly becuase I had either files in the wrong place or there were other little typos etc in the wsdd file, or classpath or something else 
I’m now in a position to start looking at the JUnit testing module and to start thinking about how I’m actually going to build the LD player. There’ll porbably be a load more problems to overcome, but at least now I;ve got all the various aspects of what I need to do in place – providing a web service using Tomcat/Axis, consuming a webservice (and supplying parameters) and interacting with CopperCore (on a java level rather than webservice).
