This is possibly a similar effect I'm seeing except with Java2WSDL. I've tried setting the classpath to ".;xerces.jar" to get example 6 of the user guide working so perhaps there's a conflict between Xerces and JDK1.4? The other examples must have picked up and used the JDK parser correctly in order to function but am I correct in observing that the WSDL tools appear to have an issue with this?
Richard. ----- Original Message ----- The first thing I would check is to make sure that you have an XML parser in your classpath (it looks like you're running ant, you can specify the classpath for that apply command). I have found that NullPointerException and ClassNotFoundException are usually thrown by Axis when no XML parser is available, even though Axis does not give any hint to that being the cause. cheers, Simon
