consume web service

[guenter krannich]

Hi there,
this is my first step into webservices, so..
When executing this, I get an exception (ok, it's a response, but I'm looking for more).
What did I miss?

  public static void main(String [] args) {
       try {
           String endpoint = 
           "http://www.webserviceX.NET/stockquote.asmx";
     
           Service  service = new Service();
           Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();
     
           call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
 
           call.setSOAPActionURI("http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetQuote");
           call.setUseSOAPAction(true);
           call.setOperationName("GetQuote");
           String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "IBM" } );
           System.out.println("Sent 'IBM', got '" + ret + "'");
 
       } catch (Exception e) {
           System.err.println(e.toString());
       }
   }

Thanks for your help!

What exception would that be? Post the stacktrace.

sorry, I wasn't precise:
the result of

(String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "IBM" } );

is "exception", so

System.out.println("Sent 'IBM', got '" + ret + "'");

produces "Sent 'IBM', got 'exception'"
