Make sure ,the JDK used to compile the java source and the run time JDK is the same version.This should fix the problem.

I encountered same problem several times.But after sweating i found there is no specific reason i mean to say suppose you are deploying your web service through build.xml(ant) and you server is not running ,in this condition you will get the same "AXIS falut......." errot.

Another scenario is , if you have web service deployed in JBOSS and you are calling the the service through "Service client" and your "ServiceCleint" is pointing to some other other version of depolyed service.then you encountered with the same error.

So better check the classpath,deployed service (version) if you have made any changes replace it with the new one.
Hope this will sortout your problem.

AxisFault is the SOAP wrapper around any exception. It doesn't indicate anything about the source of the problem. But the original exception (UnsupportedClassVersionError) has been posted, so speculating about other possible problems isn't likely to help.

Did you get the answer for the above query? If yes then can you please tell what is the exact problem for the above error?

Hi,

I guess you are using the wrong jar files. please check the installation instructions of the Axis web services version. and make sure that they are in class path
