Hi, Sorry for the long post ;-) I have (honestly!) been trying hard to get as simple a java client going for a sexy looking webservice I've seen at xmethods but with no joy. It seems to connect but always returns null. If its ok, I'd like to show the wsdl and my java sources please? So if anyone has a moment can they give me a clue why I get null please?
(My SOAPResponse is an attempt at a generic bean to handle responses. I think the real problem here is my lack of ability to see exactly which fields in the WSDL should be used for the mapping in my source, and how ;-)). Thanks very much in advance...) -- BEGIN WSDL -- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <definitions xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/";
