As you see Axis couldn't initialize itself to connect to the SOAP service: | ava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/soap/SOAPException | at org.apache.axis.configuration.FileProvider.configureEngine(FileProvider.java:179) | at org.apache.axis.AxisEngine.init(AxisEngine.java:172) | at org.apache.axis.AxisEngine.(AxisEngine.java:156) | at org.apache.axis.client.AxisClient.(AxisClient.java:52) | at org.apache.axis.client.Service.getAxisClient(Service.java:104) | That class is missing from your classpath. Please check all your libs (JAR files) in your container and add the missing one (this is "jboss-saaj.jar" for JBoss Portal and maybe "saaj.jar" for other containers).
