Dear Forum,

I wrote java client code using Apache AXIS to consume an external webservice. It is working fine and returning results back properly. But however, sometimes for the same input, it is throwing the following exception. It looks to me as adhoc behavior. Because for smae input I do get the results back sometimes, and sometimes I get the following exception. I hope my client code is fine, because it is getting results back when try to invoke other web service, and for the same webservice, it is giving me reuslts 70% of times.

What is the issue could be? Is it something like network issue.

Do I need to set any timeout in my client code.

Any help would be really appreciated.
