Have you read the API for that class?

Hello db!

If you are referring to the documentation for the GetServiceStatusSample class file, then yes, i've read the entire provided documentation from Amazon (this class file is part of the Amazon MWS API Java Client Library)... and unfortunately Amazon's documentation... is lacking.

If you are referring to the documentation for the javax.bind.xml 3rd party dependency, then yes i've attempted to read this through and understand it, but I'm afraid I may be missing something.

my errors seem to tell me that i'm missing the jaxb.index file, however I'm unsure what that could be. I basically unzipped the provided Client Library from Amazon and configured the API credentials I was provided with... and then they say to run the sample code... whcih I'm trying to, but getting this error above.

in case it helps: https://developer.amazonservices.com...0701/java.html <--------- place to look at the API files and instructions.

Ok i figured this one out. Thanks db for your assistance.

ended being I was importing the javax.bind.xml dependency incorrectly. I ended up starting over this time using Eclipse and got no errors. Woot! (although this means I have zero understanding of how to properly do this on my own without the help of an IDE... :-/ )

I was referring to the documentation for ExceptionInInitializerError.

Glad your problem is solved, one way or another. You probably had a wrong version of a dependency on your classpath.
