Ok. where to start. I have tomcat 4.1 installed at c:\tomcat4.1.

I have axis in C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis. I have added this to my classpath

set CLASSPATH="C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\*"

lib has following jars:

axis

axis-ant

commons-logging-1.0.4

commons-discovery-0.2

jaxrpc

log4j-1.2.8

saaj

wsdl4j-1.5.1

I have read mail & activation must also be there however they were not in axis-bin_1.4 i downloaded. I'm thinking about taking those two from an axis2 i downloaded and moving them into lib but seems kinda strange to be mixig jars from different versions.

So I start tomcat and go to  http://localhost:8080/axis/happyaxis.jsp and everything is ok except for an optional element:

Warning: could not find class org.apache.xml.security.Init from file xmlsec.jar
XML Security is not supported.
See http://xml.apache.org/security/

I'm assuming this is not my problem.

Now i try to go to the command line and enter:

C:\Documents and Settings\steve>java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -a "C:\Tomca
t4.1\webapps\axis\enterprise.wsdl"
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis/wsdl/

Then from reading around i have seen it is the setting up the classpath that is the most common issue so i try to explicitly enter in the class path:

java –classpath c:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\axis.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\axis-ant.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\commons-discovery-0.2.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\jaxrpc.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\saaj.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;  org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -a C:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\axis\enterprise.wsdl

I'm confused when you enter in java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java  where exactly is "org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java"  it was not in the axis1.4 bin from what i could see the onlything close was wsdl4j?  I'm not seeing that in java as well. I thought wsdl2java was part of the axis package? I go into axis2-1.4.1 and there does exist wdsl2java ? Do i have the wrong axis? I was told not to use axis2 instead axis1.4.

Please i'm so frustrated and have tried everything i can possibly think of.

I need help!
