Creating JaxRpc proxy client for axis2 Web Service problem

[exodus]

Hello all,

I searched the forums and Google for an answer to this problem, but to no avail. I have an axis2 web service setup on a Tomcat 5.0.28 app server. Everything seems to be deployed and working fine there. I tried to use the example given here: http://www.springframework.org/docs/.../remoting.html in section 17.5.2 (Accessing Web Services). The call stack from the JSF page to the bean that I created all looks fine, but I end up with the following error:

Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException

I'm not sure if this is because the web service is generated using axis2 while spring seems to be using axis libraries. I would think that this shouldn't be the case because a web service is a web service, and the proxy should work if I'm calling a .NET web service, right?

Any ideas?

Here's my applicationContext.xml stuff that's relevant (I have hidden specific company names and products):

  <!-- =========================== Web Services ============================ -->
  <bean id="TestWebService" class="org.springframework.remoting.jaxrpc.JaxRpcPortProxyFactoryBean">
    <property name="serviceInterface" value="com.webservice.TestService"/>
    <property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/TestServiceEndpoint?wsdl"/>
    <property name="namespaceUri" value="http://webservice.com"/>
    <property name="serviceName" value="TestServiceEndpoint"/>
    <property name="portName" value="TestServiceEndpointSOAP12port_http"/>
    <property name="lookupServiceOnStartup" value="false"/>
  </bean>

  <bean id="TestWebServiceClient" class="com.webservice.TestServiceClient">
    <property name="testService" ref="TestWebService"/>
  </bean>

Have you looked at the support axis2 has for spring?

Yes, I have looked at that, but it doesn't seem to be what I want. That shows how to wire up a Spring Bean into an Axis web service. It also showed in other documentation how to expose a POJO Spring bean as a web service. What I am doing here is attempting to make a web service client as shown above in the link/section I provided. I surely could be missing something in the documentation you mentioned, but I've been over it several times.
