Question

I want to create and publish simple WebService using Java.
Everything compiles.
When I run

>java -cp . ts.TimeServerPublisher

I am getting error

Error: Could not find or load main class ts.TimeServerPublisher

Any idea why it is a problem?

My code looks like following

TimeServerPublisher

package ts;
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
public class TimeServerPublisher {
/**
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Endpoint.publish("http://127.0.0.1:9876/ts", new TimeServerImpl());
}
}

TimeServerImpl.java

package ts;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.jws.WebService;
@WebService(endpointInterface = "ts.TimeServer")
public class TimeServerImpl implements TimeServer {
public String getTimeAsString() { return new Date().toString(); }
public long getTimeAsElapsed() { return new Date().getTime(); } 
}

TimeServer.java

package ts;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;
@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.RPC) 
public interface TimeServer {
@WebMethod String getTimeAsString();
@WebMethod long getTimeAsElapsed();
}

Answer 1

The class you are tryin to run is in the package ts.
So if you have this file tree:

/bin/ts/TimeServerPublisher

You have to run the following command

java -cp /bin ts/TimeServerPublisher
