Error in Webservice Call HTTP error (return code 404, message conn failed)

Question

Hi
We wish to call  a standard EP7 webservice through ABAP.
When we try to create consumer proxy , we get the following error.
HTTP error (return code 404, message "conn failed")
Message no. SPRX090
==> Display Error Document
If you want to generate a proxy for an external WSDL document by specifying a URL, check that the proxy settings of the system are correct (transaction SICF - Client - Proxy Settings). If you want to generate a proxy for an XI Repository object, check the connection to the Enterprise Services Builder as follows:
Check List for Setting Up a Connection to the Service Repository
1. The address of the Enterprise Services Repository must be known in the SAP system
Check with report SPROX_CHECK_IFR_ADDRESS
The address is taken from the following parameters in the exchange profile ('Connections' section):
com.sap.aii.connect.repository.name: Server (for example,pwdf0436)
com.sap.aii.connect.repository.httpport: Port (for example, 1080)
com.sap.aii.connect.repository.contextroot: Root (for example,rep)
The logon data is also read from the exchange profile ('ApplicationSystem' section):
com.sap.aii.applicationsystem.serviceuser.name: User
com.sap.aii.applicationsystem.serviceuser.pwd: Password
As an alternative to using the exchange profile, you can maintain the RFC destination SAP_PROXY_ESR. If this RFC destination is maintained it will be used by the proxy generation in place of data from the exchange profile to access the Service Repository. In this case, the Exchange Profile will even not be read.
The RFC destination has to be set up using transaction SM59 and should look like this:
RFC Destination: SAP_PROXY_ESR
Connection Type: G (HTTP Connection to External Serv)
Description1: ESR for Proxy Generation
Target Host: esr_host
Service No: 1080
Path Prefix: rep
Logon and Security:
Basic Authentication: active
User: esr_user
Password: esr_password
2. The HTTP Framework of the Web Application Server must function
Check with report SPROX_CHECK_HTTP_COMMUNICATION
If necessary, contact your system administrator. Please be aware of the fact, that the HTTP framework is depending on the application server. Thus the result of the report may differ for different application servers.
3. Proxy generation must interpret the data of the Enterprise Services Repository correctly
Check with report SPROX_CHECK_IFR_RESPONSE
you can also login in dev and go to Xn se91
enter msg id SPRX and msg no 090
select the message and click on long text..
you get the same message in a formatted manner..
How to get rid of this ?
