Caught the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. the details are: javax/xml/namespace/NamespaceContext

Thanks a lot to all of you! I believe with the code Simon provided (separate thread) I will be able to use ZSI for the client against a WSDL server, which will solve "a". On the "b" front, I'm almost there with XML-RPC, but need another piece of help: I have a java client calling python server. The call succeeds - I printed out input values in the server method and they match what I passed in java. however, when Java tries to build an object from the response, I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. I tried both an integer and a string as return values (the simplest objects I could think of). I'm guessing Java doesn't understand how to map the python types to java types (?) I am using apache xml-rpc (version 3), with default options. Do you have an idea on what I did wrong? python and java sources attached. from what I read seems that types for basic types like string/int are explicit in the XML serialization of XML-RPC (and SOAP), but implicit in JSON, so maybe JSON would work more easily between the languages? If I try JSON, I saw there are several implementations in both Java and Python - can anyone point me to a good combination for both languages you have used? thanks again Ronnie On 6/7/07, Simon Robins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > For the Python side: > > a) steer clear of SOAP > > If you decide to carry on anyway... > > b) There's a simple example in the 'dive into python' free web book > using the SOAPpy lib > c) If your needs are more complex you'll need the ZSI libraries. > > I can give you the code I used in a demo at the python group - > they're toy examples though. > > > On 7 Jun 2007, at 07:53, Ronnie Maor wrote: > > > Does anyone have experience with RPC from Java to Python? > > Trying to get this to work over either XML-RPC or SOAP (prefer > > SOAP) but am having slow start due to lack of experience with any > > of relevant parts :-( > > Specific packages to use, tips, and especially working example code > > would be very very appreciated > > > > thanks > > Ronnie > > > >
