Question

I am trying to call a web service that uses Axis 2 and SOAP 1.2 using Spring Integration and Spring-ws. I am getting the following error

Sounds like malformed XML; suggest you google "hierarchy_request_err java"; there are lots of results that might help you. If you can't figure it out, post the XML here and maybe someone can help.
