I am using the following environment
        java 1.4
        Tomcat 4.0.3
        Soap 2.3

I have written a simple class that implements not only the class functions,
but the serialization and deserialization as well.  I am having problems
calling a simple function on the class that returns itself.  Right now the
class has only one member (a string) and thus the marshall and unmarshall
functions are responsible for handling just that member.  When a client
calls the function, apache tomcat loads the constructor, calls the function,
but never calls the marshall function (as reported through the apache
console).  The only thing returned to the client is

        Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server
        Fault String = java.lang.NullPointerException

Does anyone have any ideas?  I've gotten the simple soap examples to run
just fine.  (And subsequently my code and descriptor are pretty identical)
Could this be problem with implementing the serializer and deserializer in
my class??

Thanks,

Todd D. Johnson
