RE: Axis fault when client invokes a webservice which is published in internet

[Norris Merritt]

Your symptom looks a lot like what I get if I run my web service under the debugger and abruptly terminate it without permitting it to send a response to the client.  It may be that Axis behaves this way when the server side closes the socket connection without sending anything, which is reasonable. Maybe the service you are talking to is just closing the connection without responding for whatever reason?  -----Original Message----- From: Shobha Rani Jagathpal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 1:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Axis fault when client invokes a webservice which is published in internet Hi, I am trying to use a webserivce published in xmethods.net I have used axis to create client stubs and the code is as follows   import javax.commerce.util.BASE64Encoder; import com.ammai.www.*; import java.net.URL;   public class PDFCreatorClient {   public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {             System.setProperty("proxySet", "true");             System.getProperties().put( "http.proxyHost", "rakshaka " );             System.getProperties().put( "http.proxyPort", "1010" );       PDFCreator pdfc = new PDFCreatorLocator();     PDFCreatorPortType pt = pdfc.getPDFCreatorPort();     String str = "result of invoking a Webservice from internet";     byte d[] = str.getBytes();    String s = new BASE64Encoder().encodeBuffer(d);    System.out.println("calling meth with "+s);    byte[] result = pt.createPDF("testuser","testpassword",s.getBytes(),"Arial",12);    System.out.println("Result = "+result.length);   } }     I am getting the following exception when I try to run it.
