How to create an IdM session

Question

I am writing a standalone Java program to login to IdM, then export some objects. However I fail to create a user session. Here is my code and the error I got.
String host = "http://localhost:8181/idm";
URL localurl = new URL (host);
String User = "myconfig";
EncryptedData ed = new EncryptedData("password");
I failed in both
Session mySession = SessionFactory.getSession(host, User,ed);
And
RemoteSession mySession = new RemoteSession(localurl, User, ed);
with error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/soap/SOAPException

Hi,
import com.waveset.session.Session;
import com.waveset.session.SessionFactory;
import com.waveset.util.EncryptedData;
public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    EncryptedData ed = new EncryptedData("configurator");
    Object o = SessionFactory.getSession("http://localhost:8088/idm/servlet/rpcrouter2","Configurator",ed);
    System.out.println(o);
}printed
com.waveset.session.RemoteSession@18f729c
for me.
The error you get implies that you do not have soap.jar in the classpath of your custom application. But even if you had the url you are using should point to the rpcrouter2 servlet of your installation.
The jars i needed to put in the classpath of my testapp
in order for it to get a session in IDM7 were:
activation.jar
idm.jar
idmclient.jar
idmcommon.jar
mail.jar
soap.jar
I think that activation, mail and possibly idm.jar should not
be needed to get a remote session but obviously they are.
