ClassNotDefFound exceptions while deploying a web service

Question

Im trying to setup a web service using soap messages,
with Javabeans and use of the soap engine with Tomcat
3.3.
While trying to deploy the service, i get
ClassNotDefFound exceptions.
I've put the soap.jar, xalan.jar [and so on...] at the
appropriate directory, as the documentation orders (at
the (TOMCAT_HOME)\lib\common of the tomcat). Also i've
already put the jar files for XML parsing at the
(JAVA_HOME)\jre\lib and (JAVA_HOME)\jre\lib\ext
folders of the javaSDK1.4 i use.
Although i've worked before with no problems with the
DOM and SAX parsers for XML, used by stand-alone java
applications, it seems to have troubles with the
XML-RPC technologies.
The org.apache.soap.service.* commands from the
command line are always "excepted" when trying to
deploy a service, as long as with the xalan ones.
I have to tell you., that i have not declare any
classpath global at the windows XP (which i use)
global variables, but the -classpath order during java
excecution is not working as well.
So, any suggestions?

Hi,
Could not diagonise from this stack trace alone. But what doubt is that there is something wrong with cardinality in your web service. Otherwise something may have gone wrong like you mishandling a list or some mismatch like that.
