Hi Jake, The exception trace below - is that from version 1.1 or 1.2Alpha?
Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 December 2003 19:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: null pointer problem in both 1.1 and 1.2alpha I deployed a web service and that went fine, but when I try to call it, I get a reported NullPointerException. Can anyone give me any hints on what is going on here? I don't believe my implementation of the service is even getting called since I am printing to system.out as soon as that method gets called and that never gets printed. Seems to be somewhere in the guts of Axis and/or the JDK itself. Here's the stack trace from the server... 36625 [http8080-Processor25] INFO org.apache.axis.EXCEPTIONS - AxisFault: AxisFault faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
