I'm really new to Java, so I apologize if I am missing something obvious.
No problem. All of us started that way .
I have successfully written a Java application that utilizes the iText methods. It works wonderfully and I have been really impressed with it.
I would hence rule out that you have a problem with iText per se. This problem of yours could be something specific to an environment as we shall see.
I am now trying to call some iText methods in a Java web service and I am getting errors which makes it seem like the methods just aren't found on the web server.
Seems like the Java classloader cannot find the iText library. Have you ensured that the iText library is "registered" for usage by the web service/ web application.
The exact same code works when it's a Java application. Is there a way to call these methods as web services or somehow deploy them to the web server? I am using IBM Rational Application Developer 6.0 with Websphere 6.0 if that matters.
The java classloader is able to find the iText library when you use the application. Seems like iText.jar is placed in the right directory for the Java application, but not for the webservice. I am going to start looking at the IBM WS 6.0 documentation to help you find out how to register iText for a WebService.
TIA,
Dan
It is entirely my pleasure [ not Bruno's or Paulo's ;-) Just kidding around ]
