Frustration! Unpredictable Axis Output?

[NY...@aol.com]

Hello fellow programmers,
 
I would be ecstatic if anybody could give me some insight into what exactly  
is going on here!
 
Client Code:
public class adminHandlerClient
{
static String router = "_http://localhost:8081/axis/adminDirect/_ 
(http://localhost:8081/axis/adminDirect/) ";
static String service =  "adminDirectService.wsdl";   
static String  
url="_http://localhost:8080/axis/services/adminHandlerServicePort_ (http://localhost:8080/axis/services/adminHandlerServicePort) ";

public static void  main(String[] args)
{
try
{
ServiceFactory sf =  ServiceFactory.newInstance();
URL u = new URL(router + "/" +  service);
QName  serviceName = new  QName(url,"adminHandlerService");
Service s = sf.createService(u,serviceName);
 
            QName portName = new QName(url,"adminHandlerServicePort");
 
            List handlerChain =  
s.getHandlerRegistry().getHandlerChain(portName);
HandlerInfo hi = new  HandlerInfo(LoggingHandler.class,null,null);
handlerChain.add(hi);
 
            //Checking for proper syntax of  call
if  (args.length==0)
{
System.err.println("Incorrect  usage of Client. Please use the following:");
System.err.println("adminHandlerClient" + " [Group Name]" + "    [Password]" 
+ "   [Account Name]" + "   [XML Path]"  );
}
else
{
System.out.println("Thank You. Processing. . .");
 
                 String groupName =  args[0];
System.out.println("Group Name Received.");  
.
.
.     
  System.out.println(xmlData);
 
if(s == null)
System.out.println("Yikes");

//<!!---THIS LINE IS CAUSING AN  ERROR---!>
  boolean success = handler.postReport(groupName,  password, accountName, 
xmlData);
}
}
catch(Exception  e)
{
System.err.println("Error running  Client:");
System.err.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
