I am using Maven, CXF 2.2.7, JBoss 4.2.3 and JRE 1.5

I have a Webservice that I can see on the server by using the URL myURL/myService?wsdl

I am trying to develop a web app to ping that webservice by calling this in my bean:

MyWebService webservice = new MyWebService();

However, it dies and throws the following error, which is very vague:

I am hoping someone has seen this exception before and can help me.
