Newbie Question: No compiler found in your classpath

[rtperson]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Axis 1.1 up and running, and I'm running into a problem. My 
computer is Windows XP (not by choice -- I need it for work). Happy Axis gives 
me success, but when I try to call a local endpoint, I get the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: No compiler found in your classpath!  (you may need 
to add tools.jar)

The Tomcat exception I'm getting is as follows:

java.lang.RuntimeException: No compiler found in your classpath!  (you may need 
to add tools.jar)
