very frustrating error!!! I run the D:\xml-axis\samples\message files in my environment as is, and it works fine initially. Then I compile the files successfully, but receive the following error while running it again.
C:\xml-axis>java samples.message.TestMsg Exception in thread "main" AxisFault faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Server.userException faultString: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: samples.message.MessageService.ec hoElements(org.w3c.dom.Document)tried class: samples.message.MessageService, me thod name: echoElements. faultActor: null faultDetail: stackTrace: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: samples.message.MessageServ ice.echoElements(org.w3c.dom.Document)tried class: samples.message.MessageServi ce, method name: echoElements. at org.apache.axis.providers.java.MsgProvider.processMessage(MsgProvider .java:173) at org.apache.axis.providers.java.JavaProvider.invoke(JavaProvider.java: When I go back and re-run the original files (not compiled by me) I will receive that error again (how can it be???). To help you help me: In my environment I am calling the xml-axis directory by tomcat like this: D:\tomcat1\conf\server.xml by changing the sintax to: ...... </Context> <Context docBase="d:\xml-axis\webapps\axis" path="/axis" /> </Host> ...... my class path is: set CLASSPATH=.;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%axisDirectory%\lib\axis.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%axisDirectory%\lib\jaxrpc.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%axisDirectory%\lib\commons-discovery.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%axisDirectory%\lib\commons-logging.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%axisDirectory%\lib\log4j-1.2.4.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%axisDirectory%\lib\saaj.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%axisDirectory%\lib\tt-bytecode.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%jwsDirectory%\lib\xmlParserAPIs.jar set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;%jwsDirectory%\lib\xercesImpl.jar
