Data transformation tool in wli8.1

Question

hi,
We are trying to explore the data transformation tool of the wil8.1.
We have cobol copy books as input and we need to end up populating oracle tables.
These are the steps we are following:
1. Use format builder to change cobol copy books into .mfl files
2. Import them into the existing schema.
3.. Create a schema(.xsd) which would take the output which then could be transferd
into the java variables while creating the .jcx file.
3. Create a .dtf file that would take in the .mfl as the input and the output
would be the .xsd file created in step 3.
4. Create a .jpd file that would be initiated with the client request and would
use the .dtf as an input in the control send node and will return the .xsd file
creted in the step3.
The xsd file we have created is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema
     xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns:tns="http://www.bea.com/TransformationWeb/part1xform.xsd"
     targetNamespace="http://www.bea.com/TransformationWeb/part1xform.xsd">
<xs:element name="part1xform"
type="tns:part1xform"/>
<xs:complexType name="part1xform">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="part1xform-rct_nbr" type="xs:integer"/>
<xs:element name="part1xform-fac_nbr" type="xs:integer"/>
<xs:element name="part1xform-rct_suff" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
     </xs:schema>
We have not as yet gone to the stage where we can create a .jcx file using the
output of the first stage. The error we get while trying to run the .jpd file
in the last step is:
An unexpected exception occurred while attempting to locate the run-time information
for this Web Service. Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:com/bea/transformationWeb/part1Xform/Part1XformDocument
Any help you coulde provide in this would be really appriciated.
However, your suggestions on some other method to be followed for data tranformation
from cobol copybooks to oracle tables are also welcome.
