Can't make Excel Services Client to work

  Hi, I'm writing a simple Excel Services client. It's a windows application with a web reference to the sharepoint Excel Services. The reference url is http://<server>/_vti_bin/excelservice.asmx. I instantiate the proxy and try to get a workbook located in a Shared Documets list. But I get the following exception in the client:

   

  System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: An error has occurred.

  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)

  at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)

  at ExcelScvTest.VMExcelService.ExcelService.OpenWorkbook(String workbookPath, String uiCultureName, String dataCultureName, Status[]& status)

  at ExcelScvTest.Form1._btnPrintWeb_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

   

  And in the server's event log I see the following:

   

  Event Type: Error
  Event Source: Office SharePoint Server
  Event Category: Excel Services Administration
  Event ID: 5244
  Date:  16/08/2007
  Time:  05:40:18 PM
  User:  N/A
  Computer: SPSTEST
  Description:
  Excel Services: Unexpected exception while trying to access Shared Services Database;. Error = ExcelServerSharedWebApplication.Local: Could not get ServerContext.Current, which indicates that either SharePoint or the SSP infrastructure isn't provisioned correctly or that we're running outside of a web context..

  For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
  

  Any thoughts?

   

  Thanks,
