JavaWorld Forums: Error on trying code in XFire Tutorial

Hi,
Following the Tutorial on XFire, I am facing problem testing the client. The server side went easy by following the example code given.
I am trying to test my web service through a sample client using xfire client feature.

Here is my code, that hits the service:
Code:

 Service serviceModel = new ObjectServiceFactory().create(IBankingService.class);        
        System.out.println("callSoapServiceLocal(): got service model." );
   
        //Create a proxy for the deployed service
        XFire xfire = XFireFactory.newInstance().getXFire();
        XFireProxyFactory factory = new XFireProxyFactory(xfire);      
    
        String serviceUrl = "http://localhost:8080/webservice/services/Banking";
        //String serviceUrl = "xfire.local://Banking";
        
        IBankingService client = null;
        try {
            client = (IBankingService) factory.create(serviceModel, serviceUrl);
            System.out.println(client.getClass().getName());
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        	System.out.println("WsClient.callWebService(): EXCEPTION: " + e.toString());
        }    
        catch(Exception e ){
        	e.printStackTrace();
        }
               
        //Invoke the service
        String serviceResponse = "";
        try { 
            serviceResponse = client.transferFunds("FROMACCOUNT", "TOACCOUNT", 100.0, "Dollars");
       } catch (Exception e){
    	   System.out.println("WsClient.callWebService(): EXCEPTION: " + e.toString());                 
            serviceResponse = e.toString();
        }        
       System.out.println("WsClient.callWebService(): status=" + serviceResponse);            
        //Return the response
    }

I am getting the following exception when I try running this method as a stand alone program.

Code:

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletOutputStream
	at org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.HttpTransport.createNewChannel(HttpTransport.java:36)
	at org.codehaus.xfire.transport.AbstractTransport.createChannel(AbstractTransport.java:47)

	at $Proxy0.transferFunds(Unknown Source)
	at com.banking.WSClient.main(WSClient.java:52)

Could any one help me to understand whats going on.? It seems the host is not found.
When I try checking the service by typing the same URL in the browser, it works by displaying the wsdl xml.

Thanks for your help.
