What would help most: capture and post to this list the contents of the response that is causing the client a problem. Depending on your OS and tool preference, you can capture with Network Monitor (Windows), tcpdump (*nix), TcpTunnelGui (Apache SOAP), tcpmon (Axis), tcpTrace/proxyTrace (for Windows at www.simonfell.com).

It works fine with good scenarios where the service returns a successful respose. But, when service throws a business exception, the client gets ClassCastException : java.lang.ClassCastException : org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementNSImpl I looked into Apache SOAP source code and found that the detailEntry is not deserialized because of missing encoding style in the response. I added a line to print the exception in Fault class unmarshall() method (the catch Exception block): Exception while unmarshalling Fault : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Deserializer found to deserialize a 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/:Parameter' using encoding style 'null'. So, looks like Axis is not returning the encodingStyle in response. I don't know how to fix that. Attached is the deployment descriptor for the service. Thanks in advance for any help. (I will post this message on Axis user list also, but I saw a message on this list regarding SOAP to Axis migration, so just want to see if anyone can help.) -Minaxi <<GeoRoute.wsdd>>
