RE: Axis fault when client invokes a webservice which is publishe d in internet

[Norris Merritt <no...@peregrine.com>]

Your symptom looks a lot like what I get if I run my web service under the
debugger and abruptly terminate it without permitting it to send a response
to the client.  It may be that Axis behaves this way when the server side
closes the socket connection without sending anything, which is reasonable.
Maybe the service you are talking to is just closing the connection without
responding for whatever reason?

Subject: Axis fault when client invokes a webservice which is published in
internet


Hi,
I am trying to use a webserivce published in xmethods.net
I have used axis to create client stubs and the code is as follows
 
import javax.commerce.util.BASE64Encoder;
import com.ammai.www.*;
import java.net.URL;
 
public class PDFCreatorClient {
  public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
            System.setProperty("proxySet", "true"); 
            System.getProperties().put( "http.proxyHost", "rakshaka " );
            System.getProperties().put( "http.proxyPort", "1010" );
 
    PDFCreator pdfc = new PDFCreatorLocator();
    PDFCreatorPortType pt = pdfc.getPDFCreatorPort();
    String str = "result of invoking a Webservice from internet";
    byte d[] = str.getBytes();
   String s = new BASE64Encoder().encodeBuffer(d);
   System.out.println("calling meth with "+s);
   byte[] result =
pt.createPDF("testuser","testpassword",s.getBytes(),"Arial",12);
   System.out.println("Result = "+result.length);
  }
}
 
 
I am getting the following exception when I try to run it. Could anybody
tell me why this axis fault is coming and what should be done to rectify it.
 
Exception in thread "main" AxisFault
 faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}HTTP
 faultString: (0)
 faultActor: null
