installation: why a failure is actually a success.

[Ralph Sakhr]

Hello axis group!  I have a guess for analyzing what a problem is, and if anyone could 
say if they agree or if they have reason to believe i'm way off mark i would 
appreciate it.

When I run the Step 7 from the Axis Installation Guide on the web site, which client 
invocation is pasted below:

        java samples.stock.GetQuote -lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet 
-uuser1 -wpass1 XXX 

I get an exception back from the server, which is pasted at the end of this message. I 
think that the service is working, it's just that the service needs to access a 
different remote site (For the xml namespace maybe) and THAT site is down.  So my 
installation and deployment of the sample web service has succeeded.  is this an 
accurate assessment?
