Error Calling .NET service

[Hoying, Ken]

I am trying to call a .NET web service and am running into some issues.  I am getting the following error:   Server was unable to process request. ---&amp;gt; Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   The WSDL for the service is as follows:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><wsdl:definitions xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tm="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/mime/textMatching/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/" xmlns:tns="http://www.relius.net/" xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/" xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/" targetNamespace="http://www.relius.net/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">  <wsdl:types>    <s:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.relius.net/">      <s:element name="GetPlanCounts">        <s:complexType>          <s:sequence>            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="PlansToCheck" type="tns:ArrayOfPlanInfo" />          </s:sequence>        </s:complexType>      </s:element>      <s:complexType name="ArrayOfPlanInfo">        <s:sequence>          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="PlanInfo" nillable="true" type="tns:PlanInfo" />        </s:sequence>      </s:complexType>      <s:complexType name="PlanInfo">        <s:sequence>          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="PlanId" type="s:string" />          <s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="Year" type="s:int" />        </s:sequence>      </s:complexType>      <s:element name="GetPlanCountsResponse">        <s:complexType>          <s:sequence>            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="GetPlanCountsResult" type="tns:ArrayOfNotice" />          </s:sequence>        </s:complexType>      </s:element>      <s:complexType name="ArrayOfNotice">        <s:sequence>          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Notice" nillable="true" type="tns:Notice" />        </s:sequence>      </s:complexType>      <s:complexType name="Notice">        <s:attribute name="Type" type="s:string" />        <s:attribute name="Number" type="s:int" use="required" />      </s:complexType>    </s:schema>  </wsdl:types>  <wsdl:message name="GetPlanCountsSoapIn">    <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:GetPlanCounts" />  </wsdl:message>  <wsdl:message name="GetPlanCountsSoapOut">    <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:GetPlanCountsResponse" />  </wsdl:message>  <wsdl:portType name="CrefServicesSoap">    <wsdl:operation name="GetPlanCounts">      <wsdl:input message="tns:GetPlanCountsSoapIn" />      <wsdl:output message="tns:GetPlanCountsSoapOut" />    </wsdl:operation>  </wsdl:portType>  <wsdl:binding name="CrefServicesSoap" type="tns:CrefServicesSoap">    <soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />    <wsdl:operation name="GetPlanCounts">      <soap:operation soapAction="http://www.relius.net/GetPlanCounts" style="document" />      <wsdl:input>        <soap:body use="literal" />      </wsdl:input>      <wsdl:output>        <soap:body use="literal" />      </wsdl:output>    </wsdl:operation>  </wsdl:binding>  <wsdl:binding name="CrefServicesSoap12" type="tns:CrefServicesSoap">    <soap12:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />    <wsdl:operation name="GetPlanCounts">      <soap12:operation soapAction="http://www.relius.net/GetPlanCounts" style="document" />      <wsdl:input>        <soap12:body use="literal" />      </wsdl:input>      <wsdl:output>        <soap12:body use="literal" />      </wsdl:output>    </wsdl:operation>  </wsdl:binding>  <wsdl:service name="CrefServices">    <wsdl:port name="CrefServicesSoap" binding="tns:CrefServicesSoap">      <soap:address location="http://chast1reliuswc1/RWCRelius5500/crefservices.asmx" />    </wsdl:port>    <wsdl:port name="CrefServicesSoap12" binding="tns:CrefServicesSoap12">      <soap12:address location="http://chast1reliuswc1/RWCRelius5500/crefservices.asmx" />    </wsdl:port>  </wsdl:service></wsdl:definitions>   I am sending the following request to the web service using the Axis client: POST /RWCRelius5500/crefservices.asmx?WSDL HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: text/xml;
