My next action would be to determine which JAR contains the javax.jws package (with the WebService and WebMethod annotations) and determine whether that JAR is in the relevant class and/or build paths.

You haven't mentioned the SOAP stack that you are using. It's likely that you are using Axis 2.* but there are others that support JSR 181: Web Services Metadata for the Java(tm)Platform outside of JSR 224: JavaTM API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0.

hello,
the problem seemed to be related to what you mentioned.I was using J2ee SDK 1.4 and the sun application server 8 .I then tested it on the new J2ee SDK 5 and sun application server 9, & it did compiled.
have not worked in apache axis , is it easier to use and are ther any online tutorials like for the j2ee server and the Sun WSDP 2.


Thanks.

Well, annotations aren't supported until Java 5 (1.5). So strictly speaking J2EE 1.4 doesn't support it. That being said SUN did sneak the Java 5 Core into later versions of the J2EE SDK 1.4.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
