Publish Problems

I am having problems publishing to jUDDI through Eclipse's (v 3.2.1) Web Service Explorer.  Both Axis and jUDDI are 'happy'. The jUDDI installation path in Tomcat is http://localhost:1515/juddi/.  The following settings are used to publish:

Publish URL: http://localhost:1515/juddi/publish
User: juddi
Password: juddi (this can be used to connect to the MySQL DB)

When Eclipse tries to publish, the following error message is returned:
IWAB0135E An unexpected error has occurred.
UDDIException
java.lang.NullPointerException

I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks, William
