Is your architecture such that the client and server cannot share the class files? If not then you can probably try adding the server class files to the client's path. This usually makes it easier.

Which classes did u copy over? What is the getAccountDetails() returning ? Is that the class u copied over??

Whenever I encounter this error, I clean up all the class files and do a fresh build and that has helped me usually.
