XFire help PLEASE :(

[cornflakeGirl]

Hi Guys,

I am a total newbie to Spring and XFire, so please when answering be as basic as possible

When trying to run my code on the server, I get the following message:

Here are some code snippets:

	</bean>

</beans>

The NetworkDataWS is the interface, and NetworkDataWSSoapBindingImpl is the implementation of the interface.

Any one see what I am doing wrong, and why I am getting that particular no class def error? Also, do I have to provide my own Aegis bindings, or does Xfire do that for me? Thanks so much in advance!!

Well,

Seems to me your exception message tells you JDom.jar is not on your classpath. I would try fixing that first.
