calling gSoap server from Axis client - "method not implemented" error

[Joe Johannsen]

I've looked thru archives and see quite a few questions about compatibility with gSoap and not too many answers to the questions. I am using Axis 1.1 RC 1 and gSoap 2.2.2, trying to call the example gSoap server named "magic" from vanilla java code (below). I have verified the server responds using a gSoap client, but cannot get my Axis client to work with it. The error I get back is "Method 'ns1:magic' not implemented".

Questions:

1. How compatible are Axis and gSoap?

2. why doesn't it work? How can I look more deeply at this problem?

3. As a newbie to Axis I could also use tips on where I can read something in detail on QName() - I don't have an understanding of what that is doing or why http://soapinterop.org is referenced there.

Thanks,
Joe
