I think this exception is thrown when the deployment description (wsdd) doesn't corresponding to the wsdl description. The client sends a request which is different to the expected request.
I had the same problem too. I solved the problem by deploying the service with the actual wsdd file on the server. So ru wsdl2java again an deploy the deploy.wsdd.

Hi All, I have below request and response soap messages. Now, I get an axis fault when I request the service but I dont see any error or log messages generated on the server side when I make the request. Is there a problem on the client side itself or on the service side. Can anyone please clarify what the axis fault means in this context . request soap message from client ------------------------------------------------------ <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body> <capturedList xmlns="http://ws.amex.com/wsdl/api"> <capturedListRequest xmlns="http://ws.amex.com/schema/api"> <pcn-array>a</pcn-array> <pcn-array>b</pcn-array> </capturedListRequest> </capturedList> </soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope> axis fault as viewed in tcpmontor response window ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body> <soapenv:Fault> <faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode> <faultstring>org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.</faultstring> <detail> <ns1:stackTrace xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize. at org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.SimpleDeserializer.onStartChild(SimpleDeserializer.java:143) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContext.startElement(DeserializationContext.java:1031) at org.apache.axis.message.SAX2EventRecorder.replay(SAX2EventRecorder.java:165) at org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.publishToHandler(MessageElement.java:1140) at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.deserialize(RPCElement.java:347) at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.getParams(RPCElement.java:386) at org.apache.axis.providers.java.RPCProvider.processMessage(RPCProvider.java:148) at org.apache.axis.providers.java.JavaProvider.invoke(JavaProvider.java:319) at org.apache.axis.strategies.InvocationStrategy.visit(InvocationStrategy.java:32) at org.apache.axis.SimpleChain.doVisiting(SimpleChain.java:118) at org.apache.axis.SimpleChain.invoke(SimpleChain.java:83) at org.apache.axis.handlers.soap.SOAPService.invoke(SOAPService.java:450) at org.apache.axis.server.AxisServer.invoke(AxisServer.java:285) at org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet.doPost(AxisServlet.java:653) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServletBase.service(AxisServletBase.java:301) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.StrictServletInstance.doService(StrictServletInstance.java:110) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.StrictLifecycleServlet._service(StrictLifecycleServlet.java:174) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.IdleServletState.service(StrictLifecycleServlet.java:313) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.StrictLifecycleServlet.service(StrictLifecycleServlet.java:116) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletInstance.service(ServletInstance.java:283) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ValidServletReferenceState.dispatch(ValidServletReferenceState.java:42) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletInstanceReference.dispatch(ServletInstanceReference.java:40) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.handleWebAppDispatch(WebAppRequestDispatcher.java:983) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.dispatch(WebAppRequestDispatcher.java:564) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.forward(WebAppRequestDispatcher.java:200) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.WebAppInvoker.doForward(WebAppInvoker.java:119) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.WebAppInvoker.handleInvocationHook(WebAppInvoker.java:276) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.cache.invocation.CachedInvocation.handleInvocation(CachedInvocation.java:71) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.cache.invocation.CacheableInvocationContext.invoke(CacheableInvocationContext.java:116) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srp.ServletRequestProcessor.dispatchByURI(ServletRequestProcessor.java:186) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.oselistener.OSEListenerDispatcher.service(OSEListener.java:334) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.http.HttpConnection.handleRequest(HttpConnection.java:56) at com.ibm.ws.http.HttpConnection.readAndHandleRequest(HttpConnection.java:618) at com.ibm.ws.http.HttpConnection.run(HttpConnection.java:439) at com.ibm.ws.util.ThreadPool$Worker.run(ThreadPool.java:672)</ns1:stackTrace> <ns2:hostname xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">330337</ns2:hostname> </detail> </soapenv:Fault> </soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope> Thanks & Regards, Kumar.
