the client doesn't work ??????

[alemito]

Hi,
I am trying with the Hello World web service example ... everything works, the service is deployed, I have also checked via http://localhost:8080/jboss-net/servlet/AxisServlet, the application tcpmon starts ...but ...

the client doesn't start ! I receive this log error :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory
at org.apache.axis.components.logger.LogFactory.class$(LogFactory.java:84)
at org.apache.axis.components.logger.LogFactory$1.run(LogFactory.java:84)

Exception in thread "main"

I report my client class:

import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;
//import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

public class Client
{
public static void main(String [] args) {
try {
String endpoint =
"http://localhost:8070/jboss-net/services/Hello";
String methodName = "getHelloWorldMessage";

Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();

call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
call.setOperationName(methodName);

// Call to addParameter/setReturnType as described in user-guide.html
call.addParameter("name",
org.apache.axis.Constants.XSD_STRING,
ParameterMode.IN);
call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.Constants.XSD_STRING);

String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "AXIS!" } );

System.out.println(ret);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
}
}
}

thank you all

Is the class 'org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory' on the classpath of the client?

Quote from the Axis documentation:
---
To redistribute an application running Axis, you need to redistribute

axis.jar

commons-logging.jar

A logging implementation compatible with commons-logging. As Java1.4's intrinsic logging facility is compatible, you do not need to include a logging JAR for Java1.4. Otherwise the log4j.jar is a good one to use

A logging configuration file for your chosen logger.

An XML Parser. Java1.4 ships with crimson, although the axis team strongly recommend xerces over crimson.

commons-discovery.jar
----
So you need to make sure all mentioned jars are on the classpath
You should be able to find them in the JBoss distribution
