Hello,

Kindly help with the following issue.

I imported a project from SVN and then I changed the build.properties file according to the local configuration. Then i build the project. Restart Alfresco. I get the following error in log.

But I have added the AuthenticationFault class jar which is alfresco-web-service-client.jar and also the required build paths. What could be the issue. please help.

Hi,
it seems that the class or one of its depemdencies cannot be found in the build path.
Please check again, even because maybe the class you added needs other classes which are contained in the alfresco-web-service-client.jar

Regards,
Andrea
