Your "normally" put your service classes and "helper" classes in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/lib or classes. You very likely need to restart Tomcat at this point. It sounds, however, like you have already done this. For your last sanity check, I would be certain the the jar is nowhere (not lib, common/lib, WEB-INF/lib, $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext) and that its constituent classes are exploded under WEB-INF/classes. Then restart Tomcat and try. If you still get an error, post it here to see if anyone sees anything your eyes are missing.

My deployment descriptor is pretty basic (see below) and it successfully deploys the service. The symptoms are a NoClassDefFound as soon as the deployed service is hit, and I have determined the class that it is complaining about is the object that I am passing ("BadOrderModel"). In the course of trying to resolve my path issue, I have dropped the jar that contains the BadOrderModel.class just about everywhere, including the following locations: my module's WEB-INF/lib, unjarred the class files into WEB-INF/classes, put the jar into tomcat's lib and common/lib. None of these things seems to work and I am slowly but surely losing my mind. Has anyone seen this type of behavior? The technologies/versions that I am using are Tomcat4, SOAP 2.3. Any clues would be appreciated. <isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment" id="urn:crb-transactions"> <isd:provider type="java" scope="Application" methods="getFunction putFunction"> <isd:java class="xrb.soap.Transactions"/> </isd:provider> <isd:faultListener>org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener</isd:faultL istener> <isd:mappings> <isd:map encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:x="urn://mycompany.com/objects/" qname="x:BadOrderModel" javaType="crb.model.shopping.BadOrderModel" java2XMLClassName="org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.BeanSerializer" xml2JavaClassName="org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.BeanSerializer" /> </isd:mappings> </isd:service> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
