Error opening socket: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Hi Everyone,

I'm tearing my hairs out for the moment.
This is the situation :
In Eclipse I created a project, and with help of the wizard I created an AXIS-web service.

When I call this web-service locally I don't have any problem.
When I call it from another computer, I get the error-message :
Error opening socket: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I changed the properties in the wsdl-file the following line :

FROM

<wsdlsoap:address location="http:-/-/localhost:8080/LeasePlan_MQWebService/services/MQCommunication"/>

TO
<wsdlsoap:address location="http:-/-/10.16.111.38:8080/LeasePlan_MQWebService/services/MQCommunication"/>


This didn't resolve the problem either. When I open the URL on the other computer in a browsers, it works without any problem, so I can decide there is no firewall-problem.

Please any help would be most welcome. Also how can I troubleshoot that kind of problems

So you can run the client on the same machine.

You can see your Web service from the other computer with a browser.

That would seem to point to a problem with your client software not looking at the correct address. I suggest checking the format of the address in the client. Addresses are case-sensitive on some Web application servers.

Hi Steve,

Already many thanks for your answer. Unfortunateley you reasoning is nor true for my problem I think. As well on my local computer, as on the other computer, the same java-software is running for calling the webservice with as endpoint "http:-/-/10.16.111.38:8080/LeasePlan_MQWebService/services/MQCommunication".

10.16.111.38 is the ip-adress of my local computer

-/ : mind the first dash, but otherwise my post wasn't accepted in this forum

I'm stumped...
