Sorry for that:-)
I was hoping that someone would do the same procedure as me to reproduce the problem.
Anyway, the stubmaker creates the pm file correctly. When I call the webservice I get a message that i'm using the wrong namespace. After changing it to the proposed namespace, the webservice gives me a quite strange output.


It looks like some kind of exception is throwed.
