Hi! The problem is that when i use HTTPS to access a SOAP webservice with AXIS 
as client library and use auto generated classes, then a nullpointerexception 
is thrown. When i set the URL of the webservice to be simple HTTP (and make 
absolutely no other change), then the whole thing works. (the webservice is 
available through both, but in production, i will have to access it through 
https.) It has also worked with 1.0 with https, but there after 5-6 requests, 
the client could not connect to the service anymore. This is why i upgraded to 
1.1beta.

I use SUN JDK 1.4.0-b92.

The exception trace is the following:
AxisFault
 faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException

 faultString: java.lang.NullPointerException
