how to compile and run a SAAJ client without ANT

Hi,

I am new to SAAJ. I could run the sample "MyUddiPing" example given in the sun j2ee tutorial-using 'asant'. but when I try to run the same application as a standalone program(with out the use of any ant tool), I am able to compile the code but when I run the application I get the following exception:

C:\uddi>java MyUddiPing
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/internet/P
arseException

eConnection(HttpSOAPConnectionFactory.java:25)
at MyUddiPing.main(MyUddiPing.java:33)

a. HOw can I run this programor any SAAJ client(the code is given below) with out the use of any ANT tool

b. I intend to develop a webservice using AXIS. then I intend to write a standalone SAAJ client that communicates with the Webservice-any suggestions

cheers

Apparently you're missing some dependencies from your classpath. Check out the Ant script to see which libraries it includes in the classpath when running the example (the error you're getting implies that you need at least some JavaMail libraries).

Hi,

The runtime environment for sending/Receving SOAP request requires quite a few jars in the classpath.

I guess, Your classpath is missing out mail.jar and activation.jar.
plz add those.

Thanks
