Hi,

I'm having problem with Axis client calls. It was working fine until I re-deployed Axis to the Tomcat 5.0. I guess something going wrong with axis jars files. I forgot what were the jars in %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/axis/lib.

PLEASE help me!!!!


Here is the part of Axis client call

Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( ENDPOINT );
call.setOperationName( new QName("shoeboxservice", "submit") );
call.addParameter( "to", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
call.addParameter( "from", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
call.addParameter( "sub", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);
call.addParameter( "fileName", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);
call.addParameter( "file", XMLType.XSD_BASE64, ParameterMode.IN);
call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING );
Object responseObj = call.invoke( new Object[] { to, from, sub, fileName, file } );
String respString = (String) responseObj;
