Hi Sameera, Thanks for the reply, i thought that might be it when I read your suggestion, but unfortunately not. I am using a downloaded AXIS2.war file and I reference it in my Eclipse Web Service Project Settings.
I placed the .jar file in C:\myworkspace\mywebservice\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib (on web server side) as you suggested but it made no difference. ( I set up my workspace following the instructions here: http://www.builderau.com.au/program/java/soa/Setting-up-a-simple-Web-service-using-Java/0,339024620,339284524,00.htm ) There is a folder C:\myworkspace\mywebservice\WebContent\axis2-web but there is no lib folder Sameera Jayasoma wrote: > > > Is there any other folder I can use to give Axis2 a reference to the jar > file as I started placing the .jar in various folders ad-lib and caused > myself a whole host of fresh problems that took a while to undo!! > > Thanks, > Tori > > > Hi, > > At first glance, it seems like your jar file which contains the Message > class, is not visible to the Class Loader of your Web service.
