Re: What's SOAP got to do with it?

[Mark Leone]

Tomcat is not producing a stack trace for this event in its log files. I 
asked for some advice on this on the Tomcat list, and if I get a full 
stack trace I'll post it here. Or maybe I'll find that I have a Tomcat 
problem that's causing the original error as well. Thanks for offering 
to look at the stack trace.

BTW, I tried it from my java IDE, but I don't have an IDE integrated 
with Tomcat, and I got a different error when I tried it- probably 
because I wasn't invoking from within a servlet engine.

I have a servlet in which I'm making a static call to
org.apache.utils.XMLUtils.newDocument(InputStream inp). Tomcat, my
servlet container, returns a class definition not found error, looking
for SOAPException. I've gone through the XMLUtils source code ( and
source code for all methods invoked by newDocument() ) over and over
again, and there's simply no reference to SOAP exception anywhere in my
processing thread. It appears only one time in the entire class, in
method getEncoding(), which cannot possibly be invoked downstream of
newDocument(). And anyway, it's certainly not one of the three
exceptions thrown by newDocument().
Something weird is going on here. Here is the stack trace returned by
Tomcat when I invoke the servlet.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/soap/SOAPException
       Proxy.ProxyServlet.handleHtmlFile(ProxyServlet.java:94)
       Proxy.ProxyServlet.doGet(ProxyServlet.java:55)
       javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689)
       javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
ProxyServlet is my code, and line 94 reads
Document doc = XMLUtils.newDocument(conn.getInputStream())
conn is an instance of HttpURLConnection that was returned by
url.openConnection(), where url is an instance of URL initialized to a
valid url value.
