NoClassDefFoundError Problem

[Rolf Zelder <Ro...@VISIBLEVOICE.com>]

Hi guys

I desperately try to get this HalloWorld Web Service sample program going.
The service is working but when I try
to generate the client for it I get the NoClassDefFoundError error all the
time.
I read all the help pages etc and I pretty sure that I have configured my
CLASSPATH correctly. I also can generate wsdl file wihtin the browser, which
shows that the service works.

Any help is very much appreciated :)

Cheers
   Rolf

Using: Tomcat 4.1,  Axis 1.1 , Xerces 2.6


ClassPath Definition:

CLASSPATH=d:\Tomcat\webapps\axis\lib\axis.jar;d:\Tomcat\webapps\axis\lib\com
mons-discovery.jar;d:\Tomcat\webapps\axis\lib\commons-logging.jar;d:\Tomcat\
