Web service and java Axis

Question

Hi everybody
I'm trying to query a web service like that on http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx
and I'm using axis-1_4 API but without success!
I wrote a class with this code:
     Call call = (Call)service.createCall();
     call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new URL("http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx"));
     call.setUseSOAPAction(true);
     call.setSOAPActionURI("http://www.webserviceX.NET");
     call.setOperationName( "GetQuote");
     String ret = (String)call.invoke(new Object[]{ "FORD" });
     System.out.println("output returned: " + ret);
The response is:
RemoteException System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://www.webserviceX.NET.
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.Soap11ServerProtocolHelper.RouteRequest()
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.Initialize()
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocolFactory.Create(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, Boolean& abortProcessing)
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Client
faultSubcode:
faultString: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://www.webserviceX.NET.

at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.Initialize()
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocolFactory.Create(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, Boolean& abortProcessing)
Have I forget to set some other property to the object Call or other reason?
If anybody have had the some problem can help me?
Thanks in advance

I have found that the older Axis 1.x has some issues talking to anything .NET. My first suggestion would be to go to the latest, which I believe is Axis 2.0. I have some clients that consume my webservices with .NET, and I remember I had to change the messaging type to get it to work...big pain in the rear.
