NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/mail/util/MailDateFormat when running samples/attachments from Axis 1.1

[Philip Puccio <ph...@aexp.com>]

Hi,

I get the following error when running EchoAttachment.main from
samples/attachments.

The readme in that directory says I need "mail and activation jars (ie.,
Tomcat's mail.jar and activation.jar)".

So I've tried this with mail.jar and activation.jar from Tomcat 4.1.24 and with
mail.jar from javamail 1.3 and activation.jar from jaf 1.0.2.  Both sets give
the same results.

Why oh why does org.apache.axis.attachments.MimeUtils.writeToMultiPartStream
refer to com/sun/mail/util/MailDateFormat?  The only MailDateFormat I see in
either of the mail jars is in package javax.mail.internet.

Here's the error:
