Migration from Axis 1.0 to 1.2.1

["Hoying, Ken" <KH...@tiaa-cref.org>]

I am attempting to migrate my Axis 1.0 web service to Axis 1.2.1.  I am running into a bit of trouble though.  When calling the web service I get the following response:

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 13:51:53 GMT Server: WebLogic Server 8.1 SP2 Fri Dec 5 15:01:51 PST 2003 316284  Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Connection: Close  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Body><soapenv:Fault><faultcode>soapenv:Server.generalException</faultcode><faultstring>java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.getAttributes()Lorg/xml/sax/Attributes;; nested exception is:

The web service is being called from a client that is still on Axis 1.0.  Must the client be upgraded to 1.2.1 as well?  Is there anyway to just upgrade the web service and not the clients?

Thank you,
Ken Hoying
