Dorner, The use of default namespaces (message 1) versus namespace prefixes (message 2) makes no semantic difference. In both cases the qualified name of the sessionID element is http://xml.apache.org/axis/session}sessionID, and the qualified name of the ClientID element is http://t-systems.de/pdmwebconnector/clientid}ClientID.
Also, the soapenv:actor and soapenv:mustUnderstand attributes will have no effect. They basically say, "The next node should process this header block, but if it doesn't understand it, just ignore it." The content of these two elements is different in the two messages, though. The error indicates that there's a problem invoking the SOAP service, which occurs before Axis tries to invoke your handler chain. Check to make sure your service is deployed properly.

There is a nsX: --> dont know what this is for??? Is it necessary for the Server???
