Calling Axis service on Applet client

[Thamizh]

Hi All,
I am new to axis. I have deployed a sample axis web service which accepts a 
sting and displays "Hello "+string.

I have created a applet client in that I am calling that web service. here I am 
facing the following error.

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: Axis
    at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at TestApplet.makeSoapCall(TestApplet.java:35)
    at TestApplet.init(TestApplet.java:22)
    at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Please help me to solve this issue. Then It would be a great help for me..

Here is my applet code:

import java.applet.*;
import org.apache.axis.AxisFault;
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;
import org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType;

public class TestApplet1 extends Applet
{
    private static String endpoint = 
"http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8200/axis/services/TomcatTestService";;
    public void init () {    
        System.out.println("\n**********\nStarting up!\n");
        makeSoapCall("Axis");
        System.out.println("\n**********\n");
    }    

private static void makeSoapCall( String message ){    
    try {
        // EndPoint URL for the HelloWorld Web Service
        String endpointURL =message; 
        String methodName = "getHelloMessage";
        Service service = new Service();
        Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
        
        //Set the endPoint URL
        call.setTargetEndpointAddress (new java.net.URL(endpointURL));
        
        call.setOperationName (methodName);
        call.addParameter("name",XMLType.XSD_STRING,ParameterMode.IN);    
        
        call.setReturnType (XMLType.XSD_STRING);    

          String result = (String) call.invoke (new Object[] { "AXIS" } );      
  
        //Print out the result
        System.out.println (result);
    }catch (AxisFault fault) {
        System.err.println("Error : " + fault.toString());
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
  }
}
