404: File not found: /axis/services/...

Hi, Everyone:

I was trying to call Axis web service example that come with the Axis
installation.

The web server is Websphere 5. I deployed samples\userguide\example3 which
is 'MyService' successfully.

Because when I call
http://myserverip:9080/WSP_web_server/axis/services/AdminService, it shows:

And now... Some Services
MyService (wsdl)
serviceMethod
AdminService (wsdl)
AdminService
MessageService (wsdl)
storeDisposition
Version (wsdl)
getVersion

But when I call the MyService from a standalone client just as the Axis user
guide shows:

	public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception{
			Options options = new Options(args);

			String endpointURL =
"http://myserverip:9080/WSP_web_server/axis/services/MyService";
			String textToSend;

			args = options.getRemainingArgs();
			if ((args == null) || (args.length < 1)) {
				textToSend = "<nothing>";
			} else {
				textToSend = args[0];
			}

			Service  service = new Service();
			Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();

			call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpointURL) );
			call.setOperationName( new QName("MyService", "serviceMethod") );
			call.addParameter( "arg1", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);
			call.setReturnType( org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_STRING );

			String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { textToSend } );

			System.out.println("You typed : " + ret);
	}

It shows the error:

AxisFault

 faultSubcode:

 faultDetail:

(404)File not found

	at gov.wa.wsp.ws.MessageServiceTest.main(MessageServiceTest.java:107)
	at gov.wa.wsp.ws.MessageServiceTest.main(MessageServiceTest.java:113)
Exception in thread "main"

I tried with other services that I developed. All has the same error.

I did exactly the same thing Axis example ask me to. It just doesn't work as
Axis promised. Does anyone know why?
