Okay -- I didn't realise you could access the WSDL dynamically like that, 
thanks. But I'm still not clear about how to access *specific* services 
(e.g. helloworld) via that generic interface definition.

If I load up that WSDL in SoapUI, and create a new 'describe' request for 
example, there's no parameter into which I can put the name of the service 
I want to describe -- so how does Soaplab know *which* service I want to 
get the description for? (Or run any other method on...)

And if I run 'describe' without any parameters, I still get the same error 
message as when I loaded the WSDL file locally:

Just to experiment, I tried changing the WSDL location to:

http://localhost:8080/soaplab2/services/helloworld?wsdl

and this did indeed give me a valid WSDL. However, calling 'describe' still 
resulted in the same exception (whether I changed the endpoint to 
services/helloworld or kept it as just services).

Forgive me if I've missed something obvious -- I'm new to webservices in 
Java, having only done them in C# and (to a lesser extent) Perl before...

Thanks for your help,

Andrew.
