Do you have a stack trace for the "Exception from service object: null"? Needless to say, that would be a big help.
My next question would be, might you be running out of some resource on Tomcat? For example, have you configured a small number of sessions? Are you re-using SOAPHTTPConnection instances on the client? Those are what maintain session information. If your client is ignoring the session cookie it gets, your server is creating a session for each invocation (unless you are using a nightly build and have set the option in your deployment descriptor to not create a session for a request). I am sure there are other possibilities, but sessions are what leaps to mind.
