Hi all,

Normally this error shouldnt interrupt your thing. It pops up in the logs for me all the time. Anyway, to remove it, set the classpath as follows
javax.activation.DataHandler - Activation.jar from Sun's site
javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart - j2ee.jar (if you're using Websphere) or weblogic.jar (if using BEA weblogic)

Hi Tom,

Thank u so much for the timely help. The missing jars did not make any impact on the application. The axis error I was getting was due to a missing class file. For a .jws file in /axis dir, it expects a .class file in /axis/WEB-INF/jwsClasses. Putting the class file in that directory, solves that problem.
