Java Result: 1
While it looks like the error is being caused by my program not being able to find the class XMLizable, I am unable to execute import com.sforce.ws.*; which would import the needed class.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Answer 1

The problem was the jar file created using java -classpath wsc-23.jar com.sforce.ws.tools.wsdlc SFwsdl.xml salesforce.jar was not including all of the necessary packages into salesforce.jar. This was stopping me from being able to include import com.sforce.ws.*; in my code.
To fix this, I imported the wsc-23.jar file provided from https://code.google.com/p/sfdc-wsc/downloads/list into my project as well. Once I did so, I was able to import all of the packages and use any of the objects that were hidden from me before.
If any one comes across a cleaner way to do this, please let me know.
