I am new to web services in general, and to Java development (though I have done a lot of C, C++, and C# development). I am working through the book, "Web Services Essentials" by Ethan Cerami, (c) 2002 O'Reilly. I am trying to compile one of the examples in the text, but since the book is so old, all of the packages it refers to are long since obsolete. I have installed JDK 6u18, Tomcat 6.0-24, Axis2 1.5.1, Xerces 2.9.1, Javamail 1.4.3, and Java Activation Framework 1.1.1 on my (Vista Ultimate x64) system. When I attempt to compile the code, it complains about unresolved external references b/c the package names are obsolete. The offending import statements from the code are listed below. I have resolved the first 3, but am still unable to do so for the last 3.
import org.apache.soap.SOAPException; // OK --> javax.xml.soap.SOAPException import org.apache.soap.Fault; // OK --> javax.xml.soap.SOAPFault import org.apache.soap.Constants; // OK --> javax.xml.soap.SOAPConstants import org.apache.soap.rpc.Call; // still unresolved import org.apache.soap.rpc.Parameter; // still unresolved import org.apache.soap.rpc.Response; // still unresolved Does anyone know what the last 3 package names should be changed to in order to reference equivalent classes in the Axis2 distribution? Also, does anyone know which JARs in the Axis2 distribution need to be on the classpath in order to compile this example? Right now I have classpath set to include every JAR in the "lib" directory of the Axis2 distribution (62 JARs), which I'd really like to cut down on if I can. Thank you very much for any help you can provide Dan Jonsen Consultant, Security Software Solutions
