How to call a web service from within a webservice

Question

Hi,

I am trying to create a web service which is a consumer to another webservice. Here is the layout..

I developed a java class and created a webservice out of it.

Then i used eclipse tools to generate a client side stub and other files.

I packed these files in a jar and used it in another project. I tested the files in the jar I was able to access the first webservice.

Now I created another webservices from the project that I tested the first one from.

Now when I write a client to the second web service it seemingly is not able to find the stubs for the first one. gives me the following error

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: com/cats/patient/PatientDataStub at org.apache.axis2.util.Utils.getInboundFaultFromMessageContext(Utils.java:512) at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.handleResponse(OutInAxisOperation.java:370) at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.send(OutInAxisOperation.java:416) at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.executeImpl(OutInAxisOperation.java:228) at org.apache.axis2.client.OperationClient.execute(OperationClient.java:163) at com.esps.patient.PatientDataESPSStub.getPatientByID(PatientDataESPSStub.java:186) at com.esps.patient.ESPSTestClient.main(ESPSTestClient.java:22)

I have incoorporated all the jars in all the projects.

Any help will be appreciated. Adhir

Looking at the exception client have found the stub of WS1. The exception fault happened when reading response.

Try tcpmon to see what was the request and response. Before tcpmon you can check in WS1 if its recieving any requests from client by putting some debug info.
