java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis2/client/Stub

Question

I've added a Web Service using Axis2 to my project and now I can't run my application.

This is the classpath I am using:

<property name="classpath" location="bin:EventReservationCore/bin:EventReservationCore/db:EventReservationCore/lib/*:EventReservationCore/lib/util_iso2.jar:EventReservationCore/lib/sqlitejdbc-v056.jar:AuthorizationRMI/lib/AuthorizationService.jar:EventReservationCore/lib/activemq-all-5.4.3.jar:/home/ander/axis2-1.6.1/webapp/axis2.war"/>

And this is the target that runs until I add the Axis2 Web Service.

<target name="run.besocial">
            <java classname="eventReservationServer.ReservationEventServer" classpath="${classpath}" fork="true">
                <jvmarg value="-Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:EventReservationCore/bin/ file:EventReservationCore/lib/util_iso2.jar"/>
                <jvmarg value="-Djava.security.policy=EventReservationCore/java.policy" />
            </java>
    </target>

As a result I get this error:

Solution 1

If you are using tomcat, copy all the jar files located under axis2/lib folder to the tomcat/lib folder and also add them to the classpath like this D:\axis2-1.6.2\lib*

Solution 2

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis2/client/Stub

Above error can be removed by adding axis2-kernel-1.6.2 to the class path, but you might start getting other errors after you have generated the stubs with wsdl2java.bat.

So you better add all the axis2-jars to classpath while compiling the client.

Hope this helps
