Anyone ever seen this before?

[John Meloro]

All,
Has anyone ever seen the following kid of error before?
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage.getSOAPBody()Ljavax/xml/soap/SOAPBody;
I get it after I perform the following code snippet:

.
.
.
// Edit to provide your own username and password
String username = args[0];
String password = args[1];
char[] c = password.toCharArray();
PasswordAuthentication passwdAuth =
new PasswordAuthentication( username, c );
Set creds = new HashSet();
creds.add( passwdAuth );
connection.setCredentials( creds );
.
.
.

Do you have a jaxp compliant parser in the classpath of the server where your web service is deployed ?

[John Meloro]

I have downloaded both Xalan and Xerces which *.jar file(s) should I include in my classpath?

Xerces should be enough

[John Meloro]

Here is a list of the files:
resolver.jar
xercesImpl.jar // Already in the classpath
xercesSamples.jar
xml-apis.jar
xmlParserAPIs.jar
Which one or ones do I include?

[John Meloro]

I've added all of them with no effect...

[JeanLouis Marechaux]

what about xerces.jar ???

[John Meloro]

I never got it?

[John Meloro]

Xerces-J-bin.2.6.2.zip does not contain one...

Ok, sorry, I thought it was.
I just asked you to check the classpath because it seems the kind of error you are facing can be due to a missing method (XML parser) the OSAP engine is looking for.
Nervertheless, can't certify it is really the cause of your problem.
Has your web service ever worked before ? or do you have others services up and running deployed on the same server ?
Which SOAP implementation (server) are you using ?
What do you have in your server classpath ?

BTW, your error message is weird :
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage.getSOAPBody()Ljavax/xml/soap/SOAPBody;

This is Axis, right ?
According to the javadoc, there is no getSOAPBody() method on the SOAPMessage object

The web service runs okay. I am in the process of writing a class to publish information about how to invoke the web service to a UDDI Registry.
The environment is Windows Xp, TomCat 4.1.30 and Axis.
The class to "publish" the pertinent information is compiled and run from an Ant Script. List below is the classpath information:
