Dear Friends,

I am trying to access webservices using java client. I am getting following error:

[i]
Fault Code   = soap:Server
Fault String = Server was unable to process request. --> Authentication failed. Subscription ID is empty [/i] 

The service provider providing clinet in .NET ,and our requirement is to use the same service( to find the distance betweent two zip code) in Java.

[b]I have to set sessionID in the header [/b], so the webservice authenticate me in order to use this service.

Please share any sample code, that is doing similar functionality, or any kind of help to resolve this problem.


any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
