RE: NoClassDefFoundError writing simple handler

[Mark Leone <ma...@hotmail.com>]

Have you looked in axis.jar and verified explicitly that BasicHandler.class 
is present?

Absolutely, it was the first thing I checked, yes, it is there.
I even decompiled it to ensure it was the implementation I expected.

Am I the only axis user who has encountered this?  Other folks are
writing handlers without seeing this issue?

A little more info:  

1. I configured the axis handler org.apache.axis.handlers.DebugHandler
   into my wsdd 

2. verified it was being called by breaking in the code with a
   debugger

3. Copied the exact source code into my own package, updated the
   package statement, compiled, updated the wsdd, deployed

4. Got the *exact* error above

Thoughts?

Thanks,
