Problem when using commons.HttpClient from webservice

[new bee]

I call a method(Register Device) which uses httpclient from a webservice method..

The method - register device works fine when run as a java application, but when the same called from the webservice method it gives the following error.

Please help me.

webservice invocation:

@WebMethod
	public String updateLocation(@WebParam(name="lat") String lat )
	{
		String token;
		RegsiterDevice(token);
		
	}

Hi!
Are you trying to post JSON data to a SOAP web service?
Best wishes!
