PWS CPTRAPProvider::Initialize SOAP error

Question

I have created a java PWS(with SCI page editor for the profile source) that reads a user info property from a sqlserver table. I have cerated the appropriate objects, i.e. remote server, PWS, a remote source. I get the folowing when running the job:
8/2/04 16:51:55- *** Job Operation #1 of 1: Profile source (for importing information about users) 'Staples PS Profile Source' [Run as owner 'Administrator']8/2/04 16:51:56- The Profile Source encountered an error (0x80004005): CPTRAPProvider::Initialize, PWS SOAP call failed.8/2/04 16:51:56- *** Job Operation #1 failed: The Profile Source encountered an error (0x80004005): CPTRAPProvider::Initialize, PWS SOAP call failed. (0x4)8/2/04 16:51:56- Done with job operations.8/2/04 16:51:56- The Profile Source encountered an error (0x80004005): CPTRAPProvider::Initialize, PWS SOAP call failed.
Any help in troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to install service station and try to debug this? This on my desktop with the Portal and the EDK Tomcat instances on the same machine. I didn't encounter any errors while deploying the PWS and SCI page.
Thanks.

Vanita,
Ralated question: are you using Plumtree Service Station to help develop/debug/test your custom PWS? If not, I can send you download instructions.

I am developing in Java. I found out what the problem was. There was an issue with the url in the web service. Now I have the job finally succeeding but it is not pulling in any properties. Here is the output of the job log and my PWS code. Additionally, I think I need to use the Portal user id in the sql statement. However the remedy code is using the UniqueName. What is UniqueName and how si it different from the User Name? Thanks for your help.
