NoSuchMethodError in my Axis Client

[ernie bert]

When I run my webservice client, i get this error. any ideas what could cause this?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
at org.apache.axis.deployment.wsdd.WSDDDocument.<init>(WSDDDocument.java:101)
at org.apache.axis.configuration.FileProvider.configureEngine(FileProvider.java:209)
at org.apache.axis.AxisEngine.init(AxisEngine.java:187)
at org.apache.axis.AxisEngine.<init>(AxisEngine.java:172)
at org.apache.axis.client.AxisClient.<init>(AxisClient.java:88)
at org.apache.axis.client.Service.getAxisClient(Service.java:143)
at org.apache.axis.client.Service.<init>(Service.java:152)

i tried out several services, this error occurs no matter what webservice i am running.

At what stage ?? How did you generated your client codes?? Did you managed to deploy and consume simple sample application that comes with apache axis??

i generated the service-stub (InteropTestPortType, InteropTestService, InteropTestServiceLocator and InteropTestSoapBindingStub) via the axis wsdl2java tool. then i created a simple test class, like this:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import org.soapinterop.*; //service stub package
 
public class Contact {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{          
        try {
            InteropTestService myService = new InteropTestServiceLocator();
            ServicePortType myPort = myService.getService();
            //...
            } 
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            }  
    }   
}

the error occurs at runtime. i dont want to run a webservice, but build a client that uses an existing one.

ok, the problem solved itself. the error only occurs when i start the client from my ide (visual cafe). anyway, thx for your help!
