Java.lang.AbstractMethodError: SOAPConnection.call(msg,end)

Question

Hi,
I am trying to get a simple SOAP client running but am encountering the following error when I try to make the SOAP call:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection.call(Ljavax/xml/soap/SOAPMessage;Ljavax/xml/messaging/Endpoint;)Ljavax/xml/soap/SOAPMessage;
I have checked the connection and it is an instance of com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnection - how is the call method an abstract one?
I thought that the com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnectionFactory would create a connection with valid implementation of this method.
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

FYI: here is the code that I am having the problems with:
System.setProperty("javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory",
"com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnectionFactory");
// Obtain a connection factory and use it to create a connecion
SOAPConnectionFactory scf = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = scf.createConnection();
// Obtain a message factory and use it to create a SOAP envelope with header
// and body elements already in it
MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage message = mf.createMessage();
// Get the SOAPPart of the SOAP message which contains the SOAPHeader and
// the SOAPBody
SOAPPart soapPart = message.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
// Add content to the SOAPBody
Name name = envelope.createName("Text");
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = body.addBodyElement(name);
bodyElement.addTextNode("This is the text in the new text node!");
URLEndpoint endpoint = new URLEndpoint "http://localhost:7001/SOAPReceiver/sr");
SOAPMessage reply = connection.call(message, endpoint);
