SoapFaultBuilder

[Ia...@dola.wa.gov.au]

Hi,

I have a web service that deploys fine with Axis running on Tomcat, but
when I try to invoke it after successfully deploying it on Oracle 9ias, I
get the following error.  There seems to be lots of messages on various
groups about SOAPFaultBuilder and specifically the methods endElement and
createFault.

Is there a bug with SoapFaultBuilder?  By the way, I'm using Axis 1.1 as of
yesterday (17th June 2003).  I thought it must be a classpath thing, using
the wrong parser or something, but it's clearly using xerces as the stack
trace shows.

See the stack trace below.  Any help appreciated.

cheers,
Ian
