Problem in axis with log4j

Question

Hi ,
I am facing one problem in running WS with axis in tomcat. I am new to ws . I have downloaded apache-tomcat-4.1.34(apache-tomcat-4.1.34.zip) and axis-1_4(axis-bin-1_4.zip) from the site. Set Path, Classpath , catalina_home , java_home. I have tested with http://localhost:8080/axis/happyaxis.jsp. That has come ok. Then I have tested http://localhost:8080/axis/HelloServer.jws a simple ws written by me and that also has come ok.
Problem is when I am running client code it is giving me log4j error message . My client code is also a simple one.
package samples.userguide.example1 ;
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
public class Client1
public static void main(String [] args) {
try {
String endpoint = "http://localhost::8080/axis/HelloServer.jws";
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
call.setOperationName(new QName("http://soapinterop.org/", "sayHelloTo") );
String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "sayHelloTo" } );
System.out.println("Sent 'Hello!', got '" + ret + "'");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.toString());
I am getting error in service.createCall();
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory

My classpath is

log4j.properties file is in C:\axis-1_0\axis-1_4\lib directory.
