Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I've searched thru this list, and although the issue has come up here and there, I can't find a satisfactory answer/solution to my problem.

I'm trying to create my very first SAAJ-based SOAP client, setting the body contents according to the books, and I end up with the following error message:

24-jun-2008 16:27:14 com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnection post
SEVERE: SAAJ0009: Message send failed

The stacktrace, by its almost emptyness, doesn't give me any further clues on where to look at first...

Here is the bit of code causing my misery:

        // Construct the message
        MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory.newInstance(); 
        SOAPMessage message = factory.createMessage(); 
        
        // no need for a header here. 
        message.getSOAPHeader().detachNode(); 
        
        SOAPBody body = message.getSOAPBody(); 
        //QName bodyName = new QName("http://www.webserviceX.NET", "GetICD9CodeResponse");
        
        QName bodyName = new QName("http://www.webserviceX.NET", "GetCitiesByCountry");
        SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = body.addBodyElement(bodyName); 
        QName name = new QName("CountryName");
        SOAPElement queryString = bodyElement.addChildElement(name); 
        queryString.addTextNode(code); 
        
        message.writeTo(System.out);
        // Construct the connection 
        SOAPConnectionFactory connFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance(); 
        SOAPConnection connection = connFactory.createConnection(); 
        
        // Send that bloody message
        
        SOAPMessage response = connection.call(message, "http://www.webserviceX.NET");

Should I have some specific properties set for the thing to work? Am I missing libraries? How about setting any proxies?

Looking forward to some help...
