AXIS axis.jar 1.2 and BEA weblogic.jar 8.1 not compatible

If you try to use AXIS 1.2 axis.jar with BEA weblogic.jar 8.1, this match will not work. You will get following exceptions:

org.apache.axis.ConfigurationException: java.lang.NullPointerExceptionjava.lang.NullPointerException at weblogic.xml.jaxp.ChainingEntityResolver.popEntityResolver(ChainingEntityResolver.java:61) at weblogic.xml.jaxp.RegistryDocumentBuilder.setEntityResolver(RegistryDocumentBuilder.java:168) at org.apache.axis.utils.XMLUtils.newDocument(XMLUtils.java:336) at org.apache.axis.utils.XMLUtils.newDocument(XMLUtils.java:357)

One of the easiest solution: To compile with AXIS 1.1 axis.jar instead.
