Exception in thread main

I installed Axis with tomcat and jwsdp every thing is fine but when I deploy the service I got an error message using the following command
java -cp $AXISCLASSPATH org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient deploy.wsdd

Exception in thread main java.lang.noclassdeffounderror

where the code is as follows:
public class SilverService {
public Object getIncrement(Object number) {
if (number instanceof Integer)
number = new Integer(((Integer)number).intValue()+1);
return number;
}
}
Can you tell me what is goig on and how to solve the problem
Thanks

Which class is the exception complaining about? It should say so in the stack trace.

The Error is :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis/client/AdminClient

Make sure that AXISCLASSPATH is correct and contains that class in one of its jar files.

Execuse me could you explain more?

Explain what? Do you know what the "-cp" switch is and how it works? Are you familiar with the concept of classpaths? Do you know what the environment variable CLASSPATH contains? How did you set it?

Yes I know that cp will search in directory AXISCLASSPATH which I set it as environment variable but search for what jar files how to solve it

A classpath is not a directory. Directories that are part of the classpath will be searched for loose class files, but not jar files. All jar files need to be listed explicitly in the classpath.

Can you solve my problem?

Only you can solve your problem. What have you investigated and/or tried since my last post?

dear,how can i know that jar files contain the class?

The "jar" tool will list all files in a jar file; the syntax is "jar tf myJarFile.jar".

But it's probably faster to include all jar files that come with Axis in your classpath; you'll probably need most of them anyway.

Thank you for your information but still I have same problem.And when I run Validate I got the following lines in the page Does this affect?:

I have same problem.

Post the complete command line you're using, and all environment variables it may use (like AXISCLASSPATH).

And when I run Validate I got the following lines in the page Does this affect?

Whatever happens on the server does not affect applications on the client. Besides, all those messages indicate that files are being found; so no problems there.

sorry for delay but the screen capture not working so I have to write it manually
AXISCLASSPATH is :$AXIS_LIB/commons-logging.jar:$AXIS_LIB/jaxrpc.jar:$AXIS_LIB/saaj.jar:

I see several problem here:
#1 There's a question mark before "xml-apis"
#2 Is AXIS_LIB defined correctly?
#3 You're on Windows, yet you're using Unix-style "$AXIS_LIB" environment variables - Windows uses "%AXIS_LIB%", as you seem to be aware
#4 You're on Windows, yet you're using Unix-style colons between path entries - Windows uses semicolons
#5 There's a ".jar" missing at the of the list (after "wsdl4j-1.5.1")

You need to fix all of these before it can work.

Dear I fixed what you told me to but still same error!!!

Please note that a single question mark is sufficient at the end of a sentence. It's also nicer.

Which version of Axis 1 are you using? The latest (1.4) includes files called saaj.jar and jaxrpc.jar, both of which are required.

By the way, "C:\TOMCAT50-JWSDP\TOMCAT50-JWSDP\WEBAPPS\AXIS/WEB-INF/lib" in the classpath doesn't accomplish anything, because it's a directory, and you shouldn't keep loose class files in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

Dear;
Thank you very much I am really learning from you lots of things:
First What you mean by "Doesnot accomplish anything and you shouldnot keep loose class files in web-inf\lib"?

Second I got the following error:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16\bin>java -cp %AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient deploy.wsdd
- Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.

Processing file deploy.wsdd
Exception: deploy.wsdd (The system cannot find the file specified)

So where are those classes and how to set them?Still in Axisclasspath?

What you mean by "Does not accomplish anything and you should not keep loose class files in web-inf\lib"?

Having directories in the classpath is only useful if you have loose class files, and you should not have those in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Maybe you meant to use "classes" instead of "lib"; that would make sense.
You may want to read up on the classpath concept before delving deeper into advanced stuff.

Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.

Those classes are part of JavaMail and the Java Activation Framework, respectively. You can download them from java.sun.com. But as the messages notes, they are only required if you're using attachments (which most WS don't use).

Exception: deploy.wsdd (The system cannot find the file specified)

Is that file in the directory from where you're running the client?

Please also keep all the duplicated and unrelated stuff out of your posts. It's hard to find the important pieces amongst all that.

I copied deploy.wsdd to same directory of the client and I got the following errors :

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16\bin>java -cp %AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.c
lient.AdminClient %AXISCLASSPATH%\deploy.wsdd3
- Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.i
nternet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.

MY WSDD FILE CONTENTS IS AS FOLLOWS:

deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
<service name="SilverService" provider="java:RPC">
<parameter name="className" value="SilverService"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>
</service>
</deployment>

Assuming that you're not actually missing an opening "<" in the first line, you're missing "<?xml version="1.0" ?>" as the first thing in the XML file.

Same error nothing changed!!!

What's with all the exclamations marks? It feels like you're yelling at us.

Post the complete WSDD file.

Here is the WSDD file:

deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
<service name="SilverService" provider="java:RPC">
<parameter name="className" value="SilverService"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>
</service>
</deployment>

So you haven't actually added the XML declaration, nor fixed the missing "<"?

Then what did you change after my last post?

I didnot change deploy.wsdd and it is processed but when I went to Axis server and checked the deployed service I got the following:

And now... Some Services
AXIS error
Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:

That should be easy to fix. The error message actually says what you need to check. I'd strongly advise to put all your classes in packages; that may actually be the reason it's not working.

It is only one class file which is silverservice.java and I put it under Axis class files.

here is the code :

public class SilverService {
public Object getIncrement(Object number) {
if (number instanceof Integer)
number = new Integer(((Integer)number).intValue()+1);
return number;
}
}
How I can fix it?

For starters, put it into a package. Then make sure it is in the proper directory.

I did what you told me craeted it using netbeans and placed the whole package in C:\tomcat50-jwsdp\tomcat50-jwsdp\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\classes
but still same error?

Come to think of it, the way to deploy services in Axis 2 is really to use an Axis service archive (an *.aar file), not to copy loose files into the WEB-INF/classes directory. Where would you have the services.xml file that determines which class to use for the service?
