Fred... I have tested against many .NET services, with good success. Here are two that work for me... http://www.alethea.net/webservices/LocalTime.asmx http://www.esynaps.com/WebServices/DailyDiblert.asmx Do this: 1. Delete your old %TOMCAT%\webapps\axis directory. Download axis-beta1 and create new %TOMCAT%\webapps\axis directory by copying the directory from the download. 2. Set up your CLASSPATH for all the jars in the %TOMCAT%\webapps\axis directory. 3. Get the wsdl file by tacking ?wsdl onto the URL in your browser. 4. Use WSDL2Java to make stubs, then write your client. I use Tomcat 4.0. Other people have had a little trouble with more recent versions of Tomcat. (See archives.) Good luck. Stan
