I am also getting this exception when including a soap call into my ejb. I am certain I have correct soap.jar classpath reference in my classpath environment variable. My ant deployment also has a correct reference to the soap.jar. It happens during the run time. As if the container (bean wrapper in particular didn't know of the soap). Strangely enough the method that makes the call is not even executed at the time the exception is thrown.
