Hello, I have the following class as part of a package named gridmanager:
public class Test { public void test() throws Exception{ Service s=new Service(); } } In my webservice I import the package gridmanager and have the following code: Test t=new Test(); t.test(); when I call the web service I get a NullPointerException, with the following stack trace: org.apache.axis.client.Service.getEngineConfiguration(Service.java:812) org.apache.axis.client.Service.getAxisClient(Service.java:103) org.apache.axis.client.Service.(Service.java:112) gridmanager.Test.test(Test.java:8) ... line number 8 in Test.java corresponds to the line: Service s=new Service(); But if I try to create the Service object directy inside the web service the exception does not occur. I'm using axis 1.3 with tomcat 5.5.12 and java 1.4.2_03-b02. Have you any idea of what is wrong? thank you Ivano Talamo
