I have a web service written for apache
tomcat and axis2 that is
working. I can call it with my
java client ok. But, when I'm using
the android emulator code I wrote (see below) I have the following
issues -
(1) Could someone tell me what may be the cause of the error
(SocketException) as seen in the subject line? The adb log tells me it
is line 54 (AndroidHttpTransport call) below. Note that I do have the
right IP in the code when I run it. And I did update the manifest.xml file for INTERNET connection.
(note: I saw somewhere that is an IPv4 versus and IPv6 issue, and that the android emulator doesn't support IPv6). Their solution was to add this to the code: System.setProperty("java.net.preferIPv6Addresses","false"); Has anyone else heard of this?
(2) the other issue I have is my web service expects one argument,
that is an array of 5 strings, and I can't figure out how to pass it
in without getting a serialization error. If you could point me to a
way to do this I would be grateful. (Note - as a
test, I was trying
to call the web service from a firefox browser with something like
"http://(my IP):8080/axis2/services/MtkService/determineBestModel?
args=str1 str2 ... (here I need to give it an array of strings but
haven't figured out how to do so,
args0={"str1","str2","str3","str4","str5"} isn't working.

Thanks so much for any tips/pointers.
Take care,
