Hi folks,

I am getting an Axis fault when I try to call a webservice via SOAPGateway. The fault is reported in the DefaultComponentFactory.xbd.log file and it contains the following html:

```auto

<HTML>
	<HEAD>
		<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
		<TITLE>ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved</TITLE>
		<STYLE type="text/css">

			PRE{font-family:sans-serif}
			-->
		</STYLE>
	</HEAD>
	<BODY>
		<H1>ERROR</H1>
		<H2>The requested URL could not be retrieved</H2>
		<HR noshade size="1px">

	</BODY>
</HTML>
```

As you can see, it states that it cannot retrieve url /entirex/xmlrt

The following wsdl file extract shows the fully qualified url in the port element:

```auto

<service name="xbd-ws">
    <port name="XBD-WSPort" binding="tns:XBD-WSSoapBinding">
        <soap:address location="http://localhost:8080/entirex/xmlrt"/>
    </port>
</service>
```

It looks as though the first part of the url ([http://localhost:808](http://localhost:808)) is being lost somewhere.

The wsdl file was generated in EntireX Workbench. If I enter full url [http://localhost:8080/entirex/xmlrt](http://localhost:8080/entirex/xmlrt) in a browser, I see the default EntireX XML Servlet page as I would expect.

Does anybody have any ideas on what is wrong and how it can be fixed?

Thanks in advance,  
David Sanders

Hi David,

The error appears to be coming from your proxy server. Is Mediator configured properly for the server? Is the server configured properly for the target URL?

Hope this helps.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the advice. I got it working by adding localhost to the nonProxyHosts list in the JVM Options.
