Consuming SOAP services from AIR/HTML (JavaScript).

Question

Hi All.
I am trying to consume SOAP web services from an AIR/HTML application for a research on AIR I am doing for my company, and I am having very little success.
I am creating JavaScript clients using apache's cxf wsdl2js utility.
When I try to use the client to call any web service I've tried, I always get an 'error 500' response.
The web services work fine if i call them from other clients.
Before trying cxf generated clients I googled a lot to see if there was a more native way of doing these calls from AIR, but found nothing. I don't see anything in documentation or the web about it.
Am I the only one trying this?
Could this be a cross-domain issue? I'm certainly hoping AIR apps don't have this issue.
Any pointers as to how to succesfully consume SOAP services from AIR is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

In Visual Basic, you can set Network Credentials like this (assuming that you first declare Public CallWebService001 As New <WebReference>):
        ' Create a new instance of CredentialCache.
        Dim mycredentialCache As Net.CredentialCache = New Net.CredentialCache()
        ' Create a new instance of NetworkCredential using the client
        ' credentials.
        Dim credentials As Net.NetworkCredential = New Net.NetworkCredential(<username>, <password>)
        ' Add the NetworkCredential to the CredentialCache.
        mycredentialCache.Add(New Uri(CallWebService001.Url), "Basic", credentials)
        ' Add the CredentialCache to the proxy class credentials.
        CallWebService001.Credentials = mycredentialCache
