org.apache.axis.ConfigurationException with attachments support

[Kumar <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,


I am trying to use attachment support with axis and I have
activation.jar and mail.jar in my WEB-INF\lib  directory. I am using
AXIS 1.2 Final and Tomcat and I have below service registered in
server-config.wsdd file :


<service name="AttachmentService" provider="java:RPC">
	<parameter name="className" value="SparePartAttachmentService"/>
	<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="addImage"/>
	<typeMapping  qname="ns1:DataHandler" xmlns:ns1="AttachmentService"
languageSpecificType="java:javax.activation.DataHandler" 
serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.JAFDataHandlerSerializer" 
deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.JAFDataHandlerDeserializerFactory"
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
</service>


Now when I start my tomcat I am getting below exception in my tomcat
log files. Can anyone please tell me what am I
missing here. Please suggest ...
