EP Web Services trouble

[Former Member]

What might be the reason of this:

=================================

Creation of the SOAP Connection Factory Error.

javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Unable to create SOAP Element Factory: Unable to create SOAP Factory: Provider com.systinet.saaj.soap.SOAPFactoryImpl not found

===================================

?

Try the following in your pars before creating anything related to the WS:

Class.forName("com.systinet.saaj.soap.SOAPFactoryImpl");

(Or call this line during remote debugging)

This ensures that it is really the class that is missing/unreachable at runtime which causes the error. If this fails with a ClassNotFoundError in a single server, the server is definitely different. You might want to compare the <jdk_home>/jre/lib/ext and <jdk_home>/lib/ext folders, as well as the system class path.

I have 2 EP installed on different serevers.

Both are installed from same CD, I use the same jdk 1.3.1_09, and deploy the same web services par to both.

One is working ok, and the other shows this error.

I'm confused really....

Looks like a classloading issue. Is the ...systinet... class name specified by you, or do you just try to use a ...systinet... generated proxy class to access a web service? If so, do you have the .jar containing the proxy class in you PORTAL-INF/lib dir?
