org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender cannot be cast to org.apache.axis.Handler

[Prashant Dhorda]

Following is the error I am getting while invoking a WebService:

AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:

at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:1812)

I am setting the following:

org.apache.axis.client.Call _call = createCall();
_call.setOperation(_operations[13]);
_call.setUseSOAPAction(true);
_call.setSOAPActionURI("");
_call.setEncodingStyle(null);
_call.setProperty(org.apache.axis.client.Call.SEND_TYPE_ATTR, Boolean.FALSE);
_call.setProperty(org.apache.axis.AxisEngine.PROP_DOMULTIREFS, Boolean.FALSE);
_call.setSOAPVersion(org.apache.axis.soap.SOAPConstants.SOAP11_CONSTANTS);
_call.setOperationName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("A valid URL", "A valid name"));

java.lang.Object _resp = _call.invoke(new java.lang.Object[] {request}); <--- Here is where I am getting the exception.

I am getting a the above issue while trying to invoke a WebService. I have also made sure that a correct version (1.4) of Axis jar is in place.

Thanks,
