I am currently trying to build a server specifically for Axis, with a few extra features, in order to provide something of a complete Java web services solution (see www.lombok.org.uk for details). I am, however, stuck in that every time I try to access a service, including the AdminService at deployment time, I get a NumberFormatException. The server itself throws a NullPointer, but the client class throws a NumberFormatException.
The stack trace says that this NumberFormatException originates from HTTPSender's readFromSocket() method. I've taken a look at the source for this class and, must admit, I can't see how the string "iso-8859-1" could be broken down and converted to an int from this code - I'm no expert in the breaking down of Strings, but it doesn't look right to me. I must, however, be missing something - since I'm sure I've had it working in Tomcat, so it must be a problem with my server. I'm afraid that I'm stumped. I am currently using axis beta3, as attempts to incorporate later releases have proved problematic - I've tried, hoping that it will solve this problem - but it causes others. If anyone feels that they may be able to shed any light on this, or simply point in the right direction, I would be grateful. regards Paul Hunnisett www.lombok.org.uk
