We are doing SOAP with an unsigned applet, using the Java plugin, and I believe it worked with soap,xerces,mail,activation. Right now, we have put some classes from all of these together into one big jar. This helped us eliminate some classes, at the cost of updating a bigger jar when any component changed. If you have trouble, try extracting the four component jars and building one big combined jar.
I haven't used appletviewer for this in a long time, using IE instead. You might check the different parameters from the html pages described here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/plugin/index.html If you would like to see it in action, you can run the demo at www.exdocs.com Mark At 12:41 PM 5/9/02 -0400, you wrote: >Hi, just starting out with SOAP so here's the situation. >On a Win2K machine trying to run an SOAP applet client that talks to a SOAP >server on linux. >I am having problems with the client. >My CLASSPATH is empty. >I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/soap/rpc/RPCMessage >when running with appletviewer.
