hey guys thanks for the help, adding junit.jar to the ant/lib fixed it (although ant already has an ant-junir.jar in its classpath already) and upgrading to ant 1.7 fixed the xerces bug. Perhaps, you guys could put ant 1.7 as a requirement for building JBossWS on the Wiki to avoid future confusion with other developers. However, the tests are failing for me. On the server side, I am regularly getting these exceptions which all basically relate to the "setProperty must be overridden by all subclasses of SOAPMessage" message. Every test seems to fail because of these exceptions. | 14:10:57,445 ERROR [SOAPFaultHelperJAXRPC] SOAP request exception | java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: setProperty must be overridden by
