RE: Further along, new problem...

Jason-
The problem from
org.apache.soap.transport.TransportMessage.read(TransportMessage.java:206)
is that the content type is null. Your service is not setting the content
type, causing the null pointer. That's where I'd look.

Hi,

I'm still struggling to get a helloworld SOAP service/client combo
going. I've gotten a little farther than yesterday, but now when I call
call.invoke(), the client gives me this stack trace:


java.lang.NullPointerException
         at

         at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.invoke(Call.java:205)
         at hello.Client.main(Unknown Source)


Meanwhile, I get this stack trace from Tomcat:

I believe everything is in order; the service, client, and descriptor
look fine. Any idea why I'd get this?

Thanks,
