OK. This is my first time using this mail list. Forgive me if I fall short of the norm on appropriate info and/or standards... I'm glad I've found it though. :D
I work for a major corporation and have been tasked with integrating a Web Reporting Server with our in house security. Problem is, the generation of the 3rd party software I am integrating has functionality we want but only in its Java "version." Were are not a Java shop and as of 2 months ago I had never seen Java code and didn't know what a .class file was. I have since learned :D this stuff and written some simple but functional code. Here's what it has to do. As a user makes a request at the web server.. there is a authenticate.jsp page that does the out of the box security. It parses cookies and authenticates the user's cookie info against internal security information. I have to take that and instead go against our in-house DB2 tables and check for a valid session id. This is created when the user first goes through our Portal login page which is all .Net (web, infrastructure). There is a .net webservice that returns a userid if a valid and active session id and environment variable are passed to it. So, I wrote a .class file using soap from apache to call this web service (I learned along the way that it needed rpc enabled on the .net side in order to handle the call - that was fun). Now, I have a class file that works. I pass it 2 parms it give me back what I want. I have altered the .jsp page to parse out the cookie I need and pass the info I need. This works. I can see the output on the web page (cause I write it there showing the parms). From a command line, I can execute the .class file and get back the answer I need from the VB.Net webservice. I CAN'T GET THIS TO WORK TOGETHER INSIDE THE JSP. Forever, I have been getting an error javax.servlet.ServletException java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at (line in my code < inside my class file) that I know is the first execution of an object from soap.jar... it is the SMR object. That fails, however, I am sure that all subsequent reference would fail... But it compiles... and is not blowing up on the imports of the packages? In addition, I can call this from a command line and it works. It appears only to be a runtime failure and only from the JSP. This leads me to believe among other things... that Tomcat must have its own runtime classpath that is separate from mine when I'm signed in to the server... that's another thing worth mentioning... I'm developing this on the server. I'm signed in as Administrator and the .Net web service is on a physically different server. So, although this is a web server, the SOAP I've written is really a SOAP-Client. I've changed the JSP to write out System.getProperty( "java.class.path") And it only writes out tools.jar and bootstrap.jar Even though I've added soap.jar to both the Admin-User classpath as well as the system classpath environment variables. I'll stop here because I feel I may have given too much useless info and not enough relevant info. Any help would be SO greatly appreciated. I'd be happy to clear up anything I've said too. (Obviously) :D Thanks.
