Description

I generated a client stub based on some wsdl using the eclipse plugin.

In my stub, it created a static String for axis home and set it to null.
It also had a comment that suggested this was ok:

//default axis home being null forces the system to pick up the
//mars from the axis2 library
public static final String AXIS2_HOME = null;

However, when I run my client from windows, I get the stack trace given below.

If I set this value to a path that points to a directory with axis2.xml and
the modules directory in it, then it works fine.

However, since I am just using axis in a client capacity and I didn't change
the default axis2.xml or modules, I really think I should be able to run it
without having to specify any "AXIS2_HOME" configuration.

I have tried a few workarounds, but haven't been successful yet.
