createPDF throws IllegalStateException and NoClassDefFoundError for SOAPConstants

[JavaDuffer]

The method call "createPDF" is failing with IllegalStateException as shown in the log below. I've included the list of jars mentioned in thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797685. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this or getting a verbose error message that help resolve the issue? Thanks.

Also - I'm doing this as a SOAP call.

This is the program call..

DistillerServiceClient dsc = new DistillerServiceClient(myFactory);

result = dsc.createPDF(inDoc, inputFileName, adobePDFSettings, securitySettings, optDoc, null);

These jars are in the class path..

This is what I see in the logs..

Hi,

Since SOAPConstants class is in axis.jar. I think problem may be with this jar file.

So try with higher version of this jar file from below link.

Thanks
