Paul, You have probably put your service class at a different level than Apache SOAP in the Tomcat class loader delegation chain. Because messaging service classes rely on Apache SOAP classes (Envelope, SOAPContext), they must be loaded by a class loader that can also load the Apache SOAP classes. If you have deployed Apache SOAP as a Tomcat webapp (which you should), you must make your service class (and dependent classes) part of the webapp as well, i.e. put it under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/classes. My guess is you put the class in $CATALINA_HOME/classes, the class loader for which cannot load the Apache SOAP classes.
