Calling a web service

Question

I have written a web service that seems to be running fine - I can call it using the Netbeans interface. I have also written another application that can call it fine while running inside the Netbeans compiler (6.7.1). However when I deploy it on a hosted server under Tomcat - as soon as the web service is accessed the following error page gets thrown:

>Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the web application. >Please review the following stack trace for more information regarding the error.
>
>Exception Details: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
>  javax/xml/rpc/ServiceException

>Possible Source of Error:
>   Class Name: java.lang.Class

Answer 1

Exception Details: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError javax/xml/rpc/ServiceException

That means you are missing the jar that provides javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException. Add that to your project and redeploy and it should go away.
