Problem while using web service with SOAP

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

I downloaded the latest Version of Apache SOAP in order to learn the first steps in using web services.
At

http://www.xmethods.com

I found an address where you can do a RPC by giving it the name of country as parameter and it returns the number of inhabitants in this country.

All the necessary .jar files and libaries are included in jbuilder 5. When I complie and run the programme I get the following error message. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\bin\javaw -classpath "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\jbproject\SoapBs;F:\XML\Apache SOAP\xmisoap.jar;F:\XML\Apache SOAP\soap.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\lib\jaxp.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\lib\parser.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\lib\dt.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\jre\lib\i18n.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\jre\lib\jaws.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\jre\lib\sunrsasign.jar;G:\Programme\jbuilder5\jdk1.3\demo\jfc\Java2D\Java2Demo.jar" soapbs.CountryInfoLookupClient

http://maxwell.cs.uga.edu:8888/soap/servlet/rpcrouter

"United States"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/MessagingException

Here is the according code to this error message

Any hint is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You do not have the mail.jar and activation.jar in you classpath/buildpath.
