Parameter passing problem

[Anas Mughal]

I am new to Axis2. I am trying to send a parameter in the URL as a REST
call. However, I am unable to figure out why my server-side function does
not get the parameter. I keep on getting null.  I have not touched the
axis2.xml file. The service is showing up fine in the list of services page.
Here is the URL that I am using to call the service:

http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/AxisTest/getVersion?param1=Check


Here is what I see in the browser:

<ns:getVersionResponse xmlns:ns="http://axisversion.sample";>
  <ns:return>Hello I am Axis2 test service ,null,  My version is 1.3</ns:return>
</ns:getVersionResponse>




Here is my service:

package sample.axisversion;

import org.apache.axis2.context.ServiceContext;
import org.apache.axis2.context.OperationContext;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

public class AxisTest {
    public String getVersion(String param1) throws Exception {

        System.out.println("param1: " + param1 + "=\n");
        return "Hello I am Axis2 test service ," + param1 + ", " +
                " My version is " + org.apache.axis2.Version.getVersionText
();
    }
}


Here is the services.xml contents:


<service name="AxisTest" scope="application">

    <description>
        This service is to get the running Axis version
    </description>

    <parameter name="ServiceClass">sample.axisversion.AxisTest</parameter>

    <messageReceivers>
        <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-only";
                         class="
org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCInOnlyMessageReceiver"/>
        <messageReceiver mep=" http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out";
                         class="
org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver"/>
    </messageReceivers>

    <!--
    <operation name="getVersion">
        <messageReceiver  class="
org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" />
    </operation>
    -->

</service>



I am running axis2 version 1.3 inside Tomcat 6.0.

Thank you very much in advance.
