error while trying to run first HelloWorld.jws in SimpleAxisServer

I did follow all instructions, and all classpaths seem to be ok. My error is:

Any ideas?

That class is in a file called wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar in lib directory of the Axis 1.2 distribution. Maybe you inadvertently removed it, or the file is corrupted.

Thanks. I fixed my classpaths. The error is still there, but at least for my current purpose, that wsdl-related error isnt stopping what I am doing.
