Our clients are using Axis 1.0 to build a client to our WCF based SOAP services.
It’s not working for them and I want to run the WSDL2Java client locally on my machine so I can experiment.
I already have the JDK installed on my machine, java works from the command line.
Reading the installation guide for Axis 1.0, and using the -cp switch, I get the following:
java -cp E:\Temp\Axis\xml-axis-10\lib org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java
(that path contains all the jar files)
And get the following:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java
Anybody know what I’m doing wrong?
UPDATE1:
I’ve tried setting the user CLASSPATH to:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\lib;E:\Temp\Axis\xml-axis-10\lib
No dice, same error.
UPDATE2:
If I try this command line, I get something different, it now appear to be loading the class:
E:\Temp>java -cp E:\Temp\Axis\xml-axis-10\lib\axis.jar org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java

If you only provide folders in your classpath, the jar files will not be loaded. You should use jar name (as in your UPDATE2) or wildcards (have a look here and here).
As for your problem with missing LogFactory – you should add to your classpath a proper jar (eg. commons-logging.jar, try http://www.findjar.com).
