This is a problem with the service you are trying to access. I observed the soap message sent by the Axis2 using tcpmon.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> <soapenv:Header /> <soapenv:Body> <ns1:getQuote xmlns:ns1=" http://www.themindelectric.com/wsdl/net.xmethods.services.stockquote.StockQuote/ "> <symbol>test</symbol> </ns1:getQuote> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> which is correct according to the wsdl. Use -ss -sd -g options to generate the skelton classes as well and try to deploy the service in the simple axis server (comes with the axis2 distribution) and check. Follow these steps 1. generate code (use -ss -sd -g -t -ssi -u) 2. set the envirionment varaiable AXIS2_HOME to the axis2 1.1 distribution folder. 3. got to the directory where you generate the code and type ant this will generate the .aar file. 4. copy it to AXIS2_HOME/repository/services folder 5. go to AXIS2_HOME/bin sh axis2Server.sh now u have started the server change the stub epr to " http://localhost:8081/axis2/services/net.xmethods.services.stockquote.StockQuoteService " and run the client.
