Problem with the addressbook -sample.. again

[Jerry Jalassola <je...@wm-finland.com>]

Hi Soap-folks,

I've got a problem:

I'm trying to run the sample addressbook step-by-step (according to the
testit.sh -script).

I can deploy the service without problems:

-------------------------
jerry@foohost:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/soap/samples/addressbook$ java
org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient
http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter deploy
./DeploymentDescriptor.xml

jerry@foohost:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/soap/samples/addressbook$ java
org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient
http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter list
Deployed Services:
    urn:mimetest
    urn:xmltoday-delayed-quotes
    urn:testprovider
    urn:AddressFetcher
-------------------------

So, the Service is deployed, but why the heck doesn't the GetAddress
sample run?

-------------------------
jerry@foohost:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/soap/samples/addressbook$ java
-cp .:../.. samples.addressbook.GetAddress
http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter "John B. Good"
Generated fault:
   Fault Code   = SOAP-ENV:Client
   Fault String = Deployment error in SOAP service 'urn:AddressFetcher':
class name 'samples.addressbook.Address' could not be resolved:
samples.addressbook.Address
-------------------------

As far as I understand the sources, this error leads to AddressBook
-class constructor. But why can't Java resolve the Address -class, file
Address.class is found in the very same directory where AddressBook
.class is. And the CLASSPATH is explicitly defined ('java -cp .:../.. ') ?!?

I know that the problem may be related with a misconfigured CLASSPATH
environment variable.... I'm not very experienced in Java environment,
could it possibly be some configuration error on the Java system that
we're using (see details below)? Operating system is Debian Linux and
Tomcat's version is 3.2.2. Tomcat and SOAP 2.2 seem be working quite
nice except this...



Additional information concerning CLASSPATHs and Java:

---------------------------
jerry@foohost:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/soap/samples/addressbook$ java
-version
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS, mixed mode)

jerry@foohost:/usr/share/tomcat/webapps/soap/samples/addressbook$ echo
$CLASSPATH
.:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/lib:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib:/usr/share/tomcat/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip
---------------------------

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!
