Can't Access Mock Web Service Get HttpHostConnectException Error - Connection Refused

[soapnewbie]

Hi All,

When I created a mock web service, I can't access it at http://nerd:8088/mockEmployeePortalServiceSoap12Binding.

It gives me a connection refused error. When I type the url into the browser it also says unable to connect.

I have the axis2 server running and the actual web service on http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/EmployeePortalService?wsdl is running.

How can I fix this so I can access the mock web service?

Thanks.

Found out the reason. It ended up being I had to play the mock web service first, before I can run the test request to access the mock web service. Duh! So goofy! Sorry guys for extra post.
