BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 secondsso, code is not running......its dfinitely a classpath problem , because error message says "Could not find TestClient. Make sure you have it in your classpat".
TestClient is the name of main class file.
not sure whats wrong with this build.xml ? whats wrong in it ?
one thing , i guess, i did not mention "." , current directory in the build.xml ......is it because of that ?
i browsed apache manual......To Run a Java program.....first, they are making a JAR file ...and then they are executing the JAR.
i really, dont need the JAR file......i just want to run it.....thats enough.
somewhere, i have to do some modification in this buld.xml.......do you have any idea ?
thank you

Answer 1

TestClient folder has
1)src
2)classes
3)build.xml
i have posted the build.xml already.
now, src folder has TestClient.java
TestClient.java
==================
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
public class TestClient {
   public static void main(String [] args) {
     try {
       String endpoint =
           "http://ws.apache.org:5049/axis/services/echo";
       Service  service = new Service();
       Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();
       call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
       call.setOperationName(new QName("http://soapinterop.org/","echoString"));
       String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "Hello!" } );
       System.out.println("Sent 'Hello!', got '" + ret + "'");
     } catch (Exception e) {
       System.err.println(e.toString());
}and i did
ant runand i got those errors.
clearly, its not able to run it.
looked the manual....did not find anything special about java task....still not working.
