(New user, using JDK 1.4 and Tomcat 4.0)

I followed the steps in install guide, so Axis "webapps" folder has been 
deployed in Tomcat and I've put "axis.jar", "commons-logging.jar", "log4j-
core.jar", and "tt-bytecode.jar" in "jre/lib/ext". The test at the end 
completed successfully.

Examples 1-5 from the user guide also work successfully but when I follow the 
instructions for Example 6 a class fails to load. I'm executing the command 
from my Axis folder, and have tried various classpaths to no avail. The command 
and message is:

F:\Apps\JavaSDKs\Axis>java org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL -o wp.wsdl  -l"http://
localhost:8080/axis/services/WidgetPrice" -n  "urn:Example6" -p"samples.userguid
e.example6" "urn:Example6"  samples.userguide.example6.WidgetPrice

(Clearly the first exception is the cause of the second)

Since I have a set of Java interfaces I'd like to convert to a web service I'd 
prefer to use the method shown in the user guide. It's my belief that I've 
configured my system correctly because I followed the documentation closely and 
checked that everything worked at each step. Therefore, I can only assume there 
is something missing from the tutorial or another problem such as my 
interpretation of it.
