Unresolved classes when loading WS client jar

Question

Hi,
  I'm loading a WS-callout client jar into an 11gR2 DB and running into some missing classes/interfaces (ORA-29521), eg javax.xml.ws.Service/WebServiceFeature. I've find articles stating that you would have to load the WS SOAP client stack but the dbws*.jar in jlib don't appear to contain those classes. Any pointers?
If I'm to support 10g databases also, I assume that the same client won't work (even recompiled) since the 10g has a 1.4 JVM without annotation support etc, right?
Thanks in advance,
Nik

Hello friend, try this:
1. Connect to SYS
2. Create a user to own the JAXB classes, running:
grant connect, resource to jaxb
identified by jaxb;
exit
Please note that JAXB username is not mandatory, any schema name is fine. Do not load it into the SYS schema. Only load it into the schema which will be referencing it.
3. Load the xml.jar into the jaxb schema running the following command from the OS terminal window after the Oracle Home is correctly set:
loadjava -resolve -v -user jaxb/jaxb $ORACLE_HOME/lib/xml.jar
The following errors will be raised during the load:
resolving: class oracle/xml/xsql/serializers/XSQLFOPSerializer
errors : class oracle/xml/xsql/serializers/XSQLFOPSerializer
ORA-29521: referenced name org/apache/fop/apps/Driver could not be found
ORA-29521: referenced name org/apache/log/LogTarget could not be found
ORA-29521: referenced name org/apache/log/output/NullOutputLogTarget could not be found
ORA-29521: referenced name org/apache/log/Hierarchy could not be found
ORA-29521: referenced name org/apache/log/Logger could not be found
ORA-29521: referenced name org/apache/fop/messaging/MessageHandler could not be found
Safely ignore them.
4. Load your class or Jar file into the schema where JAXB classes have been imported, example:
loadjava -resolve -v -user jaxb/jaxb JAXBTest.jar
