NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/axis/encoding/ser/BaseSerial

[eogreen]

Hello,

I am currently experiencing a perplexing error in attempting to run a straight Axis1.1 client on JBoss3.2.8. I have scoured the web for 2 days to productive end.

Here is my stack trace caught in createCall() in my soapbindingstub when invoked:

I have noted that:

org.jboss.axis.encoding.ser.BaseSerializerFactory

is present in the JBoss 4.0.2+ soap stack, but I am NOT using 4.0.2+

I have reviewed:

http://www.jboss.org/?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3876437
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=WebServiceStacks

MY QUESTION: Where is the reference coming from in my 3.2.8 deployment to:

org.jboss.axis.encoding.ser.BaseSerializerFactory

??

There are no references to the org.jboss.axis package in any of the Axis code. This is has perplexed me (and colleagues) for the last 48+ hours (almost straight).

I would greatly appreciate any knowledge shared.

Oops - the second sentence above should read "I have scoured the web to NO productive end".
