Question

I am getting the following error when I get to the line that invokes a REALLY BASIC web service I have running on Tomcat/Axis.

Element or attribute do not match QName production: QName::=(NCName':')?NCName 

Have I got something wrong with QName?- I can’t even find any useful information about it.

My client code is below:

import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import org.apache.axis.client.Call; import org.apache.axis.client.Service;      public class TestClient {      public static void main(String [] args)     {         try{             String endpoint = 'http://localhost:8080/TestWebService/services/DoesMagic';                Service service = new Service();             Call call = (Call) service.createCall();              call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );             call.setOperationName( new QName('http://testPackage.fc.com/, doBasicStuff') );              String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] {'some kind of message'} );              System.out.println(ret);          }catch(Exception e){             System.err.println(e.toString());         }     } } 

My web serivce code is really basic – just a simple class that returns your input string with a bit of concat text:

public String doBasicStuff(String message)     {         return 'This is your message: ' + message;      }

As the exception says, you call the QName constructor incorrectly:

new QName('http://testPackage.fc.com/, doBasicStuff') 

is incorrect. I think you have to pass two strings, one containing the namespace, one the localname. The documentation will typically contain a description on how to use that class.
