RE: SOAP NPE Error

Actually, all I'm doing is calling my method.  And it appears not to be a
problem with the SOAP message itself.  I'm converting an existing servlet
over to SOAP, and had appended the info in the web.xml file to the web.xml
file in axis.  When I removed the newly appended info, the NPE went away.
Any suggestions for converting an existing servlet over to WSDL and SOAP?

From your description, I take it that your service method looks like

void addClientToMCUConnection(int spaceID, String ClientIP, String mcuIP) {}

My guess is that your client is doing something like 

      if (resp.generatedFault()) {
        Fault fault = resp.getFault ();
        ...
      } else {
        Parameter ret = resp.getReturnValue();
        ...
      }

I believe that for a method returning void, the variable ret above will be
null.  As such, if you try to "do something" with it, i.e. dereference it,
you will get an NPE.
