Re: Apache SOAP and Axis

[Rob Jellinghaus <ro...@unrealities.com>]

Currently the Axis server, with the HTTP transport, requires the use of the
actionURI.  Try using the actionURI and see if it improves matters.  If it
does, then this is due to a bug in Axis (namely that an empty SOAPAction
header results in a non-invokable message), which I will be patching today
or tomorrow.

Cheers,
Rob
