java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException invoking web service

[Greg Cawthorn]

I am attempting to invoke a simlpe web service on Tomcat 5.0.25 with the Axis 
1.1 webapp. The service has a single method which has one parameter, which I am 
serializing using Axis' BeanSerializer and BeanDeserializer classes. I have a 
<beanMapping> element declared for this class in my WSDD, and my generated WSDL 
includes definitions of these types. 

For some reason I get an InvocationTargetException when I try to invoke the 
service, which appears to be caused when attempting to deserialize the 
argument. Does anyone have an idea of what I have done wrong or how I can fix 
this?
