The problem is that you don't have the activation.jar file in your server's classpath. Check to ensure that the jar file is really at "C:\Apache\tomcat\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\lib\".
-----Original Message----- From: Michel Bergijk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 February 2002 11:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/MimeTypeParseExc eption, with activation.jar in classpath! Fellow SOAP users, I am trying to get SOAP to work on my system (Win2000, Apache, Tomcat 3.3, SOAP 2.2 and Jetspeed 1.3a2). Connecting to SOAP using Internet Exploder works fine, I get the requested "Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GERT- you have to use HTTP Post to tal to me" response. The problem is testing the client configuration. When I enter the following command in a dos-box, I get the subsequent error message. After that I give you a copy of my classpath setting. Hope anyone has an answer for me. I have searched as far as I could in FAQ and troubleshooting quide. <command> C:\Apache\soap-2_2\lib>java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient http://nl-arn-l051682:3128/soap/servlet/rpcrouter list </command> <errormessage> Exception in thread "main" [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Protocol; msg=Unsupported response content type "text/html", must be: "text/xml".
