Wsgen command generates NoClassDefFoundError error in Java Web Services Up and Running Book

Question

As the books says I am trying to run the command: wsgen -cp . ch01.team.Teams in the folder that contains the .class files but it throws the next error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: bin/team/Teams (wrong name: team/Teams)

BTW I already read the question in: wsgen raising NoClassDefFoundError exceptions and their answer but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help me please?

Note: I am using Eclipse Juno and I already ran the command at the src folder generating for my own the .class files and I already ran the command in the bin folder where Eclipse have the .class files of the compiled .java files.

Answer 1

The problem was that you don't have to be inside the folder where the .class files are, for example if you have your .class files inside the /bin/team folder (this folder is into YourProject/ folder) then you have to run the command in the bin.

At first I was running wsgen -cp . Teams into the bin/team/ folder but then I ran wsgen -cp . team.Teams at the /bin level.

Hope it can help.
