Hi,
first very sorry I posted this to the beginners
java group as it appears to be strightforward. However I though someone from this forum may be more specific with a resolution.
I am sorry if this has been asked a thousand times but....
1. I have installed AXIS 1.3 and all seems well i.e. I can view the happyaxis.jsp page and all the relevant jars are there.
2. As a post install activity I tried to run some of the web samples provided in the "Consuming Web Services with AXIS" section of the users guide. (samples\userguide\example1\TestClient.class) i.e. java samples.userguide.example1.TestClient
3. When I do this I get the "java.lang.NoClassDefFound" error.
4. I had assumed this meant the environment was looking for something it couldn't find, so as part of the java command I added the "-cp" switch followed by all the jar files referenced in the AXISCLASSPATH path i.e. axis.jar, activation.jar, ........
5. Same Error
Can someone inform me of what could be mising?
