I am presently developing a reference implementation of a JAX-RPC one-way web service. The service will be run on an Oracle 10g server. I currently developing it on Oracle (OC4J 10.1.2) standalone developmental server.

I used Lavadora Web Services Eclipse Plugin to create the service client. I can compile and run the client fine when I use eclipse (Success is defined when I see the xml payload getting transported to the server). When I compile and run the client using command line, the client doesn't seem to work.

The only major difference I saw was that eclipse was using the elipse plugin jars and eclipse ant jars in it's classpath.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Enoch Moses

P.S. The plugin generates classes using wsdl2java.

Are you getting NoClassDefFoundError or something else ? Can you post the stacktrace if any ?

I am using an ant script to add libraries to the classpath.

Here is the script:

I figured out the problem.

I needed to add lines, "Thread.sleep(4000); System.exit(0);"
