Try using a more specific version of your web service client class constructor, for example:

java.net.URL wsdlLocation = new URL("http://service.com/services/Service?wsdl");
javax.xml.namespace.QName qualifiedServiceName = 
    new QName("http://you.service.namespace", "ServiceName");
BookCatalogService_Impl service = 
    new BookCatalogService_Impl(wsdlLocation, qualifiedServiceName);
...

I was using a constructor that takes only the WSDL location and was getting the same error. Adding the second parameter solved my problem.

Hope this helps!
