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

Yes, you're right. I didn't realize the scope of the dependencies the 
static methods in XMLUtils have on the rest of the axis code. I placed 
all the jar files from the axis distribution in the shared directory, 
and no more NCDFEs. (I moved just saaj.jar at first, but I got other 
NCDFEs, so I moved all the axis jars.)

But now I'm getting fatal SAXParser errors when I try to ingest HTML 
4.01 documents that are not well-formed XML. Xerces has implemented HTML 
DOM, but apparently there's no support for creating HTMLDocumentImpl 
objects from an InputStream serving an HTML 4.01 document.

Hi Mark,
This is so obviously a classpath issue. It might be triggered through bad
input though. Checking that  conn.getInputStream()  generates well-formed
XML would be a good first step (dump it a file on your hard disk and drag
the file into a web browser).

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.
