** getTargetObject in Provider fails **

[Mark Richman <mr...@ispchannel.com>]

I have implemented my own provider class, but when I execute
my client, 
the provider chokes on this call: 

// get at the target object 

targetObject = ServerHTTPUtils.getTargetObject
(serviceManager, dd, targetObjectURI,servlet, session,
context); 

Here's my console output: 

=============================================
In AuthProvider.locate()

DD.ServiceClass: com.empsoft.soap.providers.AuthProvider
DD.ProviderClass: com.empsoft.soap.services.HelloWorld
