Rafe, Thanks for responding to my plea for help. I should have dough a little deeper before asking. It turns out I was trying to instantiate my interface for the service rather than the actual class object. Pretty dumb mistake. I realized it yesterday after I GOOGLED InstantiationException. Googleing "InstantiationException +Axis" did not see to show much.
Thanks again, Jim -----Original Message----- From: Rafe Colburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 8:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: client InstantiationException On Wed, 21 Apr 2004 14:19:56 -0500, Jim Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- The problem: > > The bad news is that my client application fails with a AxisFault (below). > The statement that causes the failure is (I am starting small with a ping() > that returns void and has no arguments): > > call.invoke((Object[])null); > > Can someone tell me what side this fault is coming from?

It seems like the client is talking to the server, and that the server can't create an instance of the class that contains the method you're trying to call. Does it have any public constructors?
