Well, that almost worked.  Now that I put the CXF jars in, my client throws
exceptions when calling certain WS methods (it seems to be limited to those
that take a few parameters).

With the CXF jars I get the following stack when making the call:

                  addAll():472, ArrayList.java
                  createWrapperObject():-1
                  handleMessage():102, WrapperClassOutInterceptor.java
                  doIntercept():208, PhaseInterceptorChain.java
                  invoke():276, ClientImpl.java
                  invoke():222, ClientImpl.java
                  invokeSync():73, ClientProxy.java
                  invoke():135, JaxWsClientProxy.java
                  getNumbers():-1
                  doLine():95, CmdLineApp.java
                  main():45, CmdLineApp.java

and then in addAll() it throws a NullPointerException.

WITHOUT the CXF jars this is the stack I get:

          addAll():472, ArrayList.java
          copySatelliteInto():86, DistributedPropertySet.java
          <init>():168, Packet.java
          createClientResponse():607, Packet.java
          process():148, HttpTransportPipe.java
          processRequest():74, HttpTransportPipe.java
          __doRun():581, Fiber.java
          _doRun():540, Fiber.java
          doRun():525, Fiber.java
          runSync():422, Fiber.java
          process():235, Stub.java
          doProcess():120, SEIStub.java
          invoke():230, SyncMethodHandler.java
          invoke():210, SyncMethodHandler.java
          invoke():103, SEIStub.java
          getNumbers():-1
          doLine():95, CmdLineApp.java
          main():45, CmdLineApp.java

and everything works fine (unless of course the server sends back a fault
message, in which case -- as we know -- the client throws an exception).

I will freely admit that I haven't delved into JAX, SOAP or CXF -- I just
want an easy way to export some methods as Web Services and use them
transparently in a client application -- so please factor that in when
explaining your theories of what's gone so terribly, terribly wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I just realized that I didn't
have the CXF jars in my client's classpath, just the JAX jars, so it
worked okay with "proper" messages but didn't know what to do with
faults.  Putting the CXF jars (I didn't know exactly which were needed,
so I took the whole distribution) in place worked.

I started a discussion about that:

Users inputs would be welcome as well.   :-)
