WSDL Exception in webservice

Question

I created my first axis2 webservice and I got following error when I try to invoke the web service through my client which is created using stub.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/wsdl/WSDLException

What could be the root cause for this exception?

Note: I have included wsdl4j and log4j libraries.

Likely a classpath issue? Can't find javax.wsdl.WSDLException. Ensure this is available.
