[AG-TECH] enter venue/venue server on AG2.0 final

[Thomas Uram]

Hi Lewis:

The problem is that the SOAP server is, for some reason, not locating 
the service object associated with the URL you are giving for the 
venue.  So, while it should complain that it can't find the service 
object, it wrongly complains about not finding the method.

It sounds like a problem with your cfg or dat file; I know you said it's 
not, so it could be elsewhere.  If you send your .cfg, .dat, and 
VenueServer.log files to me, I'll take a look.
