The error comes from the native code (C++) part of the COMProvider that is included
with Apache SOAP.
The specific error means that the COM object could not be created. There are a number
of reasons why creation could fail, but I don't know how many different specific error
messages there are. The usual stuff to check would be
1. Is the COM object registered on the server machine? You can test with a simple
VBScript file
Set foo = CreateObject("the-progid-of-the-class")
If this script does not show any error, the COM object is registered.
2. Does the deployment descriptor have the progid of the class correct?
3. Might there be any security problems (if COM+ is used)?
