Try not using long directory names with spaces in them when you're setting the CLASSPATH. I think your AXIS_HOME variable (C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Axis1.2b) or TOMCAT_HOME is the problem. The Java interpreter is having a problem with the command line. Either put it in quotes, remove the spaces, or use DOS 8.3-style file names.
Hope this helps Keith -----Original Message----- From: Axel Bock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 September 2004 17:08 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NoClassDefFound: Software, part II (sorry ...) Hi again, just to be sure I did the complete installation (tomcat & axis), and I still get this error when I try to create a WSDL from a Java class. This time I used Axis 1.2beta for testing whether this might actually help ... . My environment looks as follows: CLASSPATH=.;C:\Programme\J2EE_SDK\jdk\lib\tools.jar // qt removed from that JAVA_HOME=C:\Programme\J2EE_SDK\jdk AXIS_HOME=C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Axis1.2b AXIS_LIB=%AXIS_HOME%\lib AXISCLASSPATH=%AXIS_LIB%\axis.jar; ..%AXIS_LIB%\commons-discovery.jar; ..%AXIS_LIB%\commons-logging.jar; ..%AXIS_LIB%\jaxrpc.jar; ..%AXIS_LIB%\saaj.jar; ..%AXIS_LIB%\log4j-1.2.8.jar; ..%AXIS_LIB%\xml-apis.jar; ..%AXIS_LIB%\xercesImpl.jar ..%AXIS_LIB%\wsdl4j.jar (without these ".." of course :) TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0 CATALINA_HOME=%TOMCAT_HOME% I have copied the JAF framework into %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib. I have copied the xerces parser files (taken from tomcat) in the same directory, as well as in %AXIS_LIB%. (if it's needed - why doesn't the doc mention it?) I have also searched *EVERY* .jar file for something called "Software", AND I have searched the JDK tree as well as the tomcat/axis tree for a *file* having the string "software" in its name. Nada. Tomcat _seems_ to run fine, at least I get no errors, and the axis-happiness-page only complains about optional components (mail, attachments) missing. The code of my - very, very simple - web service is attached. When I try to create a WSDL file from the Java code (as described here: http://java2simple.blog-city.com/read/162200.htm) with the command: java -cp %AXISCLASSPATH% -cp %CLASSPATH% \ org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL \ -o wstest.wsdl \ -l http://localhost:8080/axis/services/wstest \ -n urn:wstest -p"wstest" \ wstest.WsTest ... I get my beloved error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Software I don't know what to do. Really. I am sorry to post this message again, but this time I thought I might include every detail, so someone more experienced might spot instantly what I'm doing wrong :-)) . Well. Thanks in advance anyways, greetings & ciao, Axel. ----------- code ----------- IWsTest.java: package wstest; public interface IWsTest { public String sayHello(String Hello); } WsTest.java: package wstest; public class WsTest implements IWsTest { public String sayHello(String Hello) { return ""; } }
