I had a similar problem with the Axis examples, using Windows XP, Tomcat 4.1, and JDK 1.4. It's possible that you made the same mistake that I did. The Axis documentation mentions the following: "Java 1.4 changed the rules as to how packages beginning in java.* and javax.* get loaded. Specifically, they only get loaded from endorsed directories. jaxrpc.jar and saaj.jar contain javax packages, so they may not get picked up. If happyaxis.jsp (see below) cannot find the relevant packages, copy them from axis/WEB-INF/lib to CATALINA_HOME/common/lib and restart Tomcat." That's great for the server, but you also have to take that into account for the command line too. I used the following switch to fix this. C:\axis>java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/axis/lib samples.userguide.example2.CalcClient -p8081 add 5 6 I still see this next error, but the example runs now, and it's no longer complaining about not being able to find classes in the wsdl4.jar packages. "- Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled." I haven't dug into these errors yet, but I imagine that it's a similar problem. -- James
