Paul, coincidentally I've gotten the same error message and trace back twice in the last 24 hours after I had changed an operation signature in my WSDL. However, the core problems had nothing to do with the WSDL or Axis. Both times the problem occurred because a class was referencing a non-existent method on another class. In one case I had an old jar file with the wrong version installed on the server. (My ant deploy task was not copying the jars as I had thought.) In the second case I had changed a method name and not changed all the references.
So, when I get this message I do three things: 1. Do a clean build of all sources, (which you've already done). 2. Double check the jar files on the server to make sure they match those in my build system. 3. Add debug statements in my services to pinpoint the problem location. I have code that should have caught and reported the trace back of the exception, that did not happen for this case. I was surprised when log.debug() statements led me back to the heart of my service code and the offending reference inside a try block. Though I caught Exception, and InvocationTargetException is derived from Exception, my handling code was bypassed. So in this case you need to use old-time debugging methods to trackdown the problem. --Sergeant -----Original Message----- From: Paul Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 10:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: InvocationTargetException I'm trying to call a function on my axis server that I have changed today to accept two parameters, whereas before it accepted none.

java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:100) I have tried cmopletly rebuilding from scratch (ie. deleting everything except my *impl.java file and then running java2WSDL then WSDL2java before finally undeploying and deploying the service, copying my class files to where they should be and restarting Tomcat). So I know my stub and skeleton files have been updated properly to accept my change to the parameters this function takes. I don't have a problem with my other classes and functions, they all still work fine, so it's not a server setup problem. The code I'm using to call the function is: java.net.URL endpoint = new java.net.URL(WSURL + "Archive"); ArchiveServiceLocator service = new ArchiveServiceLocator(); samples.project.server.Archive.Archive port = service.getArchive(endpoint); archives = port.getAllArchiveDetails(userID, authKey); and my server config file has this for this particular class: <service name="Archive" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <parameter name="wsdlPortType" value="Archive"/> <parameter name="scope" value="Session"/> <parameter name="className" value="samples.project.server.Archive.ArchiveSoapBindingSkeleton"/> <parameter name="wsdlServicePort" value="Archive"/> <parameter name="wsdlTargetNamespace" value="urn:FYprojectArchive"/> <parameter name="wsdlServiceElement" value="ArchiveService"/> </service> I don't get any error logs in catalina.out either any help much appreciated ~Paul Phillips
