Getting the sforce Samples to run

Here is a tip for newbies like me, to get the sforce sample to run:

Once I had JBuilder setup, and I tried to compile the Java sample, I kept getting errors like:

- java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.xml.rpc does not exist at line X

- java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/discovery/tools/DiscoverSingleton

- java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/soap/SOAPException

...and 2 to 3 others.

To fix this I had to add a couple libraries to JBuilder:

Tools->Configure Libraries

Add a new folder under User Home, called Axis

Add the following library paths to that folder:

  • [<apache home>/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/jaxrpc.jar]
  • [<apache home>/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/axis.jar]
  • [<apache home>/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/commons-logging.jar]
  • [<apache home>/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/commons-discovery.jar]
  • [<apache home>/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/saaj.jar]

This should enable your project to run without errors

Is there a better way to do this?

Also, make sure you read the sforce Release Notes that are installed in the sforce folder under Start->Programs->salesforce.com..., next to the sforce sample. There is ket setup info there.

Thanks for the note, eyewell. Looks like the axis jars weren't in your classpath; your solution looks like the right one to me..
