Help with helloworld example

Question

Hi,
I'm new to web services. I downloaded and tried the helloworld program. it worked fine. To figure out how everything works, i copied all the files from the tutorial, deleted which I thought was not necessary and tried to compile and deploy the service. but it is not working.
It is not creating any class files.
It says 'RmiModeler error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException' in run-wscompile. (I think its tied to prev one)
And 'XML reader error: java.io.EOFException' in run-wsdeploy.
can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong.
Thank you.
/*HelloIF.java: */
package HelloWS;
import java.rmi.Remote;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
public interface HelloIF extends Remote
public String sayHello(String s) throws RemoteException;
/* HelloImpl: */
package HelloWS;
import java.xml.rpc.server.ServiceLifecycle;
public class HelloImpl implements HelloIF, ServiceLifecycle
public String message ="Hello";
public String sayHello(String s)
return message + s;

I would encourage you to go through the tutorial
setup process again. The only time you should have
this is issues is as a resulty of missing / wrong
env.
