Integrating J2EE application with SQL Server Reporting Services

Question

Hello everybody,
I want to integrate a J2EE application with SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. In fact, it is the first time to be involved in developing an interoperability component between .Net web service and Java application. So I have learned for some time how to pass this challenge. Moreover, I found the following virtual lab is an excellent starting point "MSDN Virtual Lab: Implementing SQL Server Reporting Services with a Java Enterprise Edition (EE) Application" [http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032315323&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US]
After going through the lab, I tried to apply the same code in my machine but I have stuck with the following error:
{color:#ff0000}*; nested exception is:*
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.
{color}{color:#333333}I use the following tools:
- Netbeans IDE 6.5
- Java SDK: build 1.6.0_01-b06
- Web Server: Apache Tomcat 6.0
- axis Jars (axis.jar, axis-ant.jar, commons-discovery-0.2.jar, commons-logging-1.0.4.jar, jaxrpc.jar, log4j-1.2.8.jar, saaj.jar, wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar)
- Reporting Tool: SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services
I will be so grateful if someone help me. I am waiting your response
this is a snippet of my code :

//set up a search condition where the item name contains the specified search string
SearchCondition condition = new SearchCondition();
condition.setCondition(ConditionEnum.Contains);
condition.setName("Name");
if(searchStr != null)
condition.setValue(searchStr);
else
condition.setValue("");
//create an array of SearchCondition which will contain our single search condition
SearchCondition[] conditions;
conditions = new SearchCondition[1];
conditions[0] = condition;
//Call the web service with the appropriate parameters
CatalogItem[] returnedItems;
System.out.println("before port.findItems");
returnedItems = port.findItems(folderName, BooleanOperatorEnum.Or, conditions);
System.out.println("after port.findItems");
return returnedItems;

System.out.println(e.getMessage());

I also need to do this. Were you successful in getting this to work? Is it possible for you to share how you accomplished this?
