If they have turned off access to a certain method, then you simply cannot call it and there is nothing you can do except ask them if it is truly turned off and why. All soap web service calls happen using POST not GET. (Except the famous http://<web_service_name>?wsdl url which is a GET). I would suggest that you call any of the other methods found in their wsdl, to make certain you are calling the service correctly. I think the answer to your problem lies with them. -jeff

I'm trying to connect to a third party web services (which is developed using microsoft tools) and i had used Axis 1.4 components to create my client. I got the stub generated and run it in my own servlet. However when i try to call the web services i got a "(405)Method Not Allowed" error from the web. I'm thinking of the possibility of the method that i use is not allow. Since Axis is defaulted to process its request in Post method, i'm not sure whether i can alter that. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this? Here's a portion of my debug log from Axis: 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,859 %- HTTP/1.1 405 Method not allowed 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,859 %- Server Microsoft-IIS/5.0 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,859 %- Date Tue, 16 Oct 2007 12:21:32 GMT 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,875 %- Allow OPTIONS, TRACE, GET, HEAD 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,875 %- Content-Length 3923 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,875 %- Content-Type text/html 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,890 %- org.apache.axis.i18n.resource::handleGetObject(return01) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,890 %- (405)Method not allowed 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,906 %- Enter: SOAPPart ctor(FORM_FAULT) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,906 %- org.apache.axis.i18n.resource::handleGetObject(setMsgForm) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,906 %- Setting current message form to: FORM_FAULT (currentMessage is now org.apache.axis.AxisFault) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,906 %- Exit: SOAPPart ctor() 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,906 %- org.apache.axis.i18n.resource::handleGetObject(toAxisFault00) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,906 %- NSPush (32) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,921 %- org.apache.axis.i18n.resource::handleGetObject(empty00) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,921 %- NSPop (empty) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,921 %- NSPush (32) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,937 %- org.apache.axis.i18n.resource::handleGetObject(empty00) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,937 %- NSPop (empty) 16 Oct 2007 20:01:17,906 %- Mapping Exception to AxisFault Any suggestion or idea are welcome.
