Server.userException question

[Jacek Furmankiewicz <ja...@gmail.com>]

We have an old weblogic app still running on Axis 1.2...recently it got an
exception like this:

2009-06-30 04:03:58,411 INFO  org.apache.axis.enterprise  - Mapping

Our production guys run the servers with outbound connections BLOCKED
(only inbound are allowed).
Would this cause issues for Axis? I am guessing in this case it was
trying to reach the schema URL
(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/) and was unable to reach it...

Just trying to guess why this intermittent exceptions pops up every
now and then....

P.S. I am more than willing to try to upgrade this old app to Axis
1.4, but maybe there is a requirement that servers
must allow outbound connections for Axis to work properly, which could
be the core issue here. Any clarifications
would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Jacek
