Files missing in the ear and client jar

Question

Hi,
I'm following the examples to build a web service using ANT servicegen task. My
web service calls a lot of other java classes, and those java classes in turn
call other classes. When I used the following taskes to generate the service and
client code, I found the generated ear, war and client jar files only contain
the compiled classes which are used directly by the web service class. Those classes
called indirectly by web service are missing.
<target name="ear">
<servicegen
destEar="${build}/${ear_file}"
warName="${war_file}">
<service
javaClassComponents="com.iit.integration.txlife.txlife28.txlifeProcessor.TxlifeProcessor"
targetNamespace="${namespace}"
serviceName="TxlifeWebService"
serviceURI="/txlifews"
     generateTypes="True"
expandMethods="True">
<client
packageName="com.iit.integration.txlife.txlife28.client"
clientJarName="${client_jar_file}"
/>
</service>
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${build}"/>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
</servicegen>
</target>
<!-- generate the client jar and build the client calling class -->
<target name="client" depends="ear">
<clientgen
ear="${build}/${ear_file}"
warName="${war_file}"
packageName="com.iit.integration.txlife.txlife28.client"
clientJar="${client}/${client_jar_file}">
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${build}"/>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
</clientgen>
So when I invoked the client code, I always got the class not found exception.
Not sure if I missed anything here.
Thanks a lot,
Henry

Any required support classes have to be in the client's/server's classpath. Or
at least that's what I do.
