Error accessing a java web service

[anand nalya]

Hi,

I'm trying to access a web service written in java from python, but it is
returning a NullPointerException. The parameter that I'm passing is somehow
not reaching the server.

Here is the code I'm using for invoking the service

import SOAPpy
from SOAPpy import SOAPProxy
import fpconst
import xml

namespace = 'http://wev.onyomo.com/'
url = 'http://localhost:8176/XSLTTransformerService/XSLTTransformer'
server = SOAPProxy(url,namespace)

server.config.dumpSOAPOut = 1
server.config.dumpSOAPIn = 1

server.convert('<results />');

When I access the same web service through a java client, it works fine.

Am I missing something here??
