I've read the recent discussions on this topic, but I have not been able to overcome the 'setProperty' error by adding the the JBossws native jars to the lib/endorsed directory and adding them to the client's classpath.

Specifically, I use ant to manage my deployment states and run the client for testing. I can build and deploy the web service war file just fine, and the JBoss server deploys it handily. When I run the /client/ I get into trouble.

I installed the JBoss 5.1.0 GA JDK6 version and am running it on WindowsXP.

Here's my run-client ant target:

    <target name="run-client" >
        <java classname="com.nmt.nls.api.client.NlsApiClient" fork="true">

And here is the stack trace when I run this target:

I assume I'm either not using ant correctly, or not including the correct jars. I'd appreciate some insight from someone who has some experience dealing with this incompatibility. Thanks!
