Looks like the log variable is declared private, that means only methods in that class can use that variable, not subclasses like WsseClientHandler. -jeff

The WsseClientHandler class extends the axis BasicHandler class. BasicHandler has the class variable: private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(BasicHandler.class.getName()); Yet, when the code in WsseClientHandler tries to use the "log.debug" method, the runtime (Java 1.4) ends up throwing the exception: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: net.vitale.filippo.axis.handlers.WsseClientHandler tried to access field org/apache/axis/handlers/BasicHandler.log from class at net.vitale.filippo.axis.handlers.WsseClientHandler.invoke(WsseClientHand ler.java:92) By extending the BasicHandler class, shouldn't the WsseClientHandler class just inherit the "log" variable? What is wrong here? What can I do about it without recompiling axis and/or axis-wsse from the source? Thanks. ---Hillel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
