I am trying to get the Eutils Java API to work but have encountered
some problems. I am somewhat confused by the instructions at
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK55696/

I have downloaded eutils_axis2.jar to a new directory called test1.
I save the EInfo example from the web page above to a file called
test1/Client.java:

----------------------------------------------------------
package gov.nih.nlm.ncbi.www.soap.eutils;
import gov.nih.nlm.ncbi.www.soap.eutils.*;
public class Client
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        // eInfo utility returns a list of available databases
        try
        {
            EUtilsServiceStub service = new EUtilsServiceStub();
            // call NCBI EInfo utility
            EUtilsServiceStub.EInfoRequest req = new EUtilsServiceStub.EInfoRequest();
            EUtilsServiceStub.EInfoResult res = service.run_eInfo(req);
            // results output
            for (int i = 0; i < res.getDbList().getDbName().length; i++)
            {
                System.out.println(res.getDbList().getDbName()[i]);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.toString()); }
    }
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, I try to compile this program using test1/compile.sh:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java8
AXIS2_HOME=/home/psgendb/BIRCHDEV/java/axis2

AXIS2_CLASS_PATH=$AXIS2_HOME
for file in $AXIS2_HOME/lib/*.jar
do
   AXIS2_CLASS_PATH=$AXIS2_CLASS_PATH:$file
done
echo Using AXIS2_HOME:   $AXIS2_HOME
echo Using JAVA_HOME:    $JAVA_HOME 

"$JAVA_HOME/bin/javac" -J-ms20m -J-mx1000m   -classpath eutils_axis2.jar *.java
----------------------------------------------------------

The output looks like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
{jupiter:/home/psgendb/BIRCHDEV/java/eutils/test1}./compile.sh
Using AXIS2_HOME: /home/psgendb/BIRCHDEV/java/axis2
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/java8
Client.java:14: error: cannot access Stub
            EUtilsServiceStub.EInfoResult res = service.run_eInfo(req);
                                                       ^
  class file for org.apache.axis2.client.Stub not found
Client.java:16: error: cannot access ADBBean
            for(int i=0; i<res.getDbList().getDbName().length; i++)
                              ^
  class file for org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBBean not found
2 errors
--------------------------------------------------------------

I tried adding $AXIS2_CLASS_PATH to the classpath, 

"$JAVA_HOME/bin/javac" -J-ms20m -J-mx1000m   -classpath $AXIS2_CLASS_PATH:eutils_axis2.jar *.java

which then compiles the Client.

I tried running using run.sh:

---------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java8
AXIS2_HOME=/home/psgendb/BIRCHDEV/java/axis2
JAVA_OPTS=""

AXIS2_CLASS_PATH=$AXIS2_HOME
for file in $AXIS2_HOME/lib/*.jar
do
   AXIS2_CLASS_PATH=$AXIS2_CLASS_PATH:$file
done

"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" $JAVA_OPTS -classpath eutils_axis2.jar Client
-----------------------------------------------------------

which gives the error:

{jupiter:/home/psgendb/BIRCHDEV/java/eutils/test1}./run.sh
Error: Could not find or load main class Client

changing the last line to
"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" $JAVA_OPTS -classpath eutils_axis2.jar:$AXIS2_CLASS_PATH Client

gives the same result.

I have tried numerous variations, both in terms of compiling the source, which generates
more errors, and running the compiled Client.class file. The whole point of .jar files is that you should be able to distribute
everything needed, should make it trivial to utilize 
Eutils from a program. That doesn't seem to be the case with eutils_axis2.jar.

What am I missing here?
