Russ, The exception is actually coming from WebMethods. I supposed you are calling WebMethods Web Services that in turn calling SAP backend system. Do you have the WSDL file?

I have implemented & tested an application using Axis 1.1. It is fairly simple, only requiring a request/response pattern using simple types. However, now I'm trying to integrate with an SAP backend system and I'm running into issues. (SAP is the web service and Axis is the client). Calls to SAP result in: faultDetail: {http://www.webMethods.com/2001/10/soap/encoding}exception: <ns1:className>com.wm.soap.coder.SoapCoderRuntimeException</ns1:className> <ns1:message xml:lang="en-AU" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">[B2BCORE.0076.9201] SOAP Message Coder cannot decode message; no encoding style is specified</ns1:message> I've looked through the Axis documentation and found references to encodingStyle on Call objects. Do I need to set the encodingStyle on the Call? Isn't this an optional attribute? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Russ
