Problem with connecting to a java web service running on WebSphere 6.1

Question

I have one machine running a java web service on IBM WebSphere. It is using port 9081. I also have a client to this web service written in c#.NET. The funny thing is that I can easily reference the web service in Visual Studio 2005 (I get the wsdl definition) by http://ip_address:9081/ProjectName/services/MyService?wsdl but I cannot call any of the exposed remote methods. I get an error saying :

{"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:9081"}

I would appreciate any ideas.

Answer 1

Found it. The solution was so simple. The the 'localhost' was defined in the wsdl file :). Once I had replaced it with a proper server address it started working.
