Hi,

I'm having an error when trying to create a new site with SharePoint API. The scenario is:

a) Custom SharePoint workflow calls b) Custom web service calls c) Class library in GAC

The error occur in the class library, the contentDb.Sites.Add throw an exception:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
newSite = contentDb.Sites.Add(newSiteName, newSiteTitle,
newSiteDescription, nLCID, siteTemplate, ownerID,
ownerName, ownerEmail);
});

Below is the exception information:
Windows Identity: serviceaccount001
Current Principal:
IsAuthenticated: False
WebMethodCall: CreateSiteCollection
Url: ExceptionMessage: SoapException
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.Exception:

If I direct reference the class library in the custom SharePoint workflow without the web service call, the code run successfully and did not throw any error.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
