My first webservice call

Hello All,
I am trying to write a webservice call client for a webservice at http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?WSDL

. But I have some problms in invokint the call. This is the code I have. Please let me know whats wrong with it.

import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType;
import org.apache.axis.utils.Options;

import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;

public class WebClient{
   public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
       Options options = new Options(args);

String endpoint = "http://www.webservicex.net";

// Do argument checking
       args = options.getRemainingArgs();
       System.out.println(args);

if (args == null || args.length != 1) {
           System.err.println("Usage: Zipcode number value needs to be entered");
           return;
       }

// Make the call
       String i1 = new String(args[0]);

Service  service = new Service();
       Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();
       call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(endpoint));
       call.setOperationName("GetWeatherByZipCode");
       call.addParameter("ZipCode", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
       //call.setReturnType(XMLType.XSD_STRING);

Object ret = (Object) call.invoke( new Object [] { i1 });

//Object obj=call.invoke(args);

//System.out.println("Got result : " + ret);
   }
}

But I have some problms in invokint the call.

What problems are those? TellTheDetails

Also, please edit your post to UseCodeTags. It's unnecessarily hard to read the code as it is, making it less likely that people will bother to do so.

This is the error message after invoking the service

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.axis.i18n.ProjectResourceBundle).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

You may want to use a tool like tcpmon or SOAPUI to monitor what's going over the wire. The default HTTP method for SOAP is POST, so if the service doesn't like what's being sent you should examine what *is* being sent.
