THE ISSUE:

Using Phurnace with Fix Pack 13 of WebSphere 6.1 leads to a SOAP connection error.

THE SOLUTION:

Remove fix pack 13 from your client installation. This should clear up the issue.

NOTE:
The version of WebSphere on your server does not impact this issue. Fix pack 13 on the server is fully supported by Phurnace Deliver.
