Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I apologize if this problem has already been discussed before.
I have Axis 1.4 running on Tomcat 4.1.31. the happy axis page says everything is just fine and that all the libraries are found.
Needed Components

* Found SAAJ API ( javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\saaj.jar

* Found JAX-RPC API ( javax.xml.rpc.Service ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\jaxrpc.jar

* Found Apache-Axis ( org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\axis.jar

* Found Jakarta-Commons Discovery ( org.apache.commons.discovery.Resource ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\commons-discovery-0.2.jar

* Found Jakarta-Commons Logging ( org.apache.commons.logging.Log ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar

* Found Log4j ( org.apache.log4j.Layout ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\log4j-1.2.13.jar

* Found IBM's WSDL4Java ( com.ibm.wsdl.factory.WSDLFactoryImpl ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar

* Found JAXP implementation ( javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory ) at an unknown location

* Found Activation API ( javax.activation.DataHandler ) at C:\asrfel\java1.4.2_12\jre\lib\ext\activation.jar

Optional Components

* Found Mail API ( javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage ) at C:\asrfel\tomcat\common\lib\mail.jar

* Found XML Security API ( org.apache.xml.security.Init ) at C:\asrfel\tomcat\common\lib\xmlsec.jar

* Found Java Secure Socket Extension ( javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory ) at an unknown location

However when i try to run the simplest examples, the ones int the install guide, i get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.

I have copied the jars in the Tomcat common/lib, in the axis/WEB_INF/lib directories but no use.

Please help !!!
