NoClassDefFound when using Axis and Ant

[joncaulfield <da...@yahoo.com>]

The following build script fails when I run the
wsdl2java
target from my DOS prompt. The exact exception I'm
getting is:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/axis/wsdl/toJava/JavaClassWriter
This occurs after axis generates 50 or so source
files.

An obvious work-around is to add all the axis jars to
my system
classpath, but I still want to understand why the
classpath
as specified in my wsdl2java target is not working,
since I was 
expecting the AntClassLoader to use the classpath
specified
in the target.

Any hints or suggestions will be appreciated. 

Thanks.


My build script is:

	<property name="axis.lib"
value="c:/axis-1_2beta/lib"/>

	<path id="axis.classpath">
