I have a deployed the webservice created when following the guide on http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/research/asg/ws4ejb/
The webservice deploys nicely.

My client wich uses dii to access the webservice throws an exception when jdk1.5.0_01 (and jdk1.5.0) is used when compiling/running the client.

The client works fine if jdk1.4.2_07 is used.

The exception thrown is:
2005-feb-01 11:25:07 HelloServiceClient testSayHello
