Callling MapPoint WebService

[Sebastien Arbogast <se...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out a way to access a location web service for my
web application. I just discovered MapPoint Web Service so I got an
evaluation account and I tried to execute the last sample on this page
: http://demo.mappoint.net/, which uses Axis 1.2 RC2

I got the application running but it couldn't connect to the Web
Service and displayed an error dialog box. I just added a debugging
instruction to know what was this exception and I got the following
exception stack trace :

AxisFault
faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Server.userException
faultString: java.io.IOException
faultActor: null
