You're missing the commons-code jar, which you download separately from HttpClient. Check this link: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/dependencies.html

I am trying to execute one of the sample apps provided here PostXML.java. My goal is to transmit and XML file to a URL and get a response back from the site. This app pretty much covers it. I have had trouble compiling it first because, it could not find the HTTPClient classes though they were right in the Classpath. Eventually got it to compile, but now I cannot execute it. I get the following error. Any ideas or recommendations? I have had a hard time for it to find all the commons-httpclient & commons-logging jars though they were in the classpath. I had to unzip the jars and put the necessary classes local to the PostXML.java program for it to even compile. Could this be part of the problem?? The code and error are posted below. Thanksfor any input.
