I need to go a bit further with my own stuff, and once I've put my 
endpoint up you can see if the problem lies in my code or somewhere on 
yours. What I'd like to do is find out what the underlying exception is, 
but I dont remember if there are many more switches to turn on for axis

You may want to turn on some things that may be turned off

1. debug mode in axis. I think from the stack trace this is probably 
already turned on

<globalConfiguration>
   <parameter name="axis.development.system" value="true"/>
</globalConfiguration>

see: http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/reference.html#GlobalAxisConfiguration

2. turn on more logging in log4j.properties, especially 
org.apache.axis.EXCEPTIONS

http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/reference.html#AxisLoggingConfiguration

That doesnt help me that much as the logs get routed wherever you 
configure log4j to route the relevant streams, but if we need to do a 
co-ordinated debug session with us both in front of our consoles, then 
we can

That's something we are going to need to do for component model testing 
too.

What I'd like would be some well-known .cdl URL which every 
implementation has to tune for their release, which declares common 
components for testing. We can then do a <cdl:import 
url="http://ggf.org/cddlm/1.0/imports/test-components.cdl" /> and every 
runtime would import their own version of the template.
