> http://soapclient.com/edgar.html.
> Unfortunately this isn't working at all, so it isn't returning anything
> but null. Because of this, I am unable to find out weather my webservice

> configured it to run with idendity processor (like this:
> http://nopaste.info/58bb0f3a82.html), but it's just saying "URL
> generator found null URL for config: <config><url/></config>" when I
> call it from browser.
