Hi I posted this first at wrong mailing list I guess, sorry if some of you see this second time..
I am implementing a JAX-WS service that uses SOAP. I get the following error message when I try to call the service: org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.axis2.AxisFault.makeFault(AxisFault.java:430) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.JAXWSMessageReceiver.receive(JAXWSMessageReceiver.java:250) at org.apache.axis2.engine.AxisEngine.receive(AxisEngine.java:181) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPTransportUtils.processHTTPPostRequest(HTTPTransportUtils.java:172) at org.apache.geronimo.axis2.pojo.POJOWebServiceContainer.processXMLRequest(POJOWebServiceContainer.java:144) at org.apache.geronimo.axis2.Axis2WebServiceContainer.processPOSTRequest(Axis2WebServiceContainer.java:390) at org.apache.geronimo.axis2.Axis2WebServiceContainer.doService2(Axis2WebServiceContainer.java:312) at org.apache.geronimo.axis2.Axis2WebServiceContainer.doService(Axis2WebServiceContainer.java:244) at org.apache.geronimo.axis2.Axis2WebServiceContainer.getWsdl(Axis2WebServiceContainer.java:191) at org.apache.geronimo.webservices.WebServiceContainerInvoker.service(WebServiceContainerInvoker.java:74) at org.apache.geronimo.webservices.POJOWebServiceServlet.service(POJOWebServiceServlet.java:79) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAsPrivileged(Subject.java:517) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:233) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:191) at org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.security.SecurityValve.invoke(SecurityValve.java:131) at org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.security.jacc.JACCSecurityValve.invoke(JACCSecurityValve.java:54) at org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.GeronimoStandardContext$SystemMethodValve.invoke(GeronimoStandardContext.java:420) at org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.valve.GeronimoBeforeAfterValve.invoke(GeronimoBeforeAfterValve.java:47) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve.invoke(AccessLogValve.java:555) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:298) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:857) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:588) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$SocketProcessor.run(JIoEndpoint.java:396) at org.apache.geronimo.pool.ThreadPool$1.run(ThreadPool.java:214) at org.apache.geronimo.pool.ThreadPool$ContextClassLoaderRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:344) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) Caused by: javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.ExceptionFactory.createWebServiceException(ExceptionFactory.java:175) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.ExceptionFactory.makeWebServiceException(ExceptionFactory.java:70) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.ExceptionFactory.makeWebServiceException(ExceptionFactory.java:128) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.EndpointController.handleRequest(EndpointController.java:312) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.EndpointController.invoke(EndpointController.java:103) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.JAXWSMessageReceiver.receive(JAXWSMessageReceiver.java:169) ... 37 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.geronimo.axis2.GeronimoEndpointLifecycleManagerFactory.createEndpointLifecycleManager(GeronimoEndpointLifecycleManagerFactory.java:33) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.ServiceInstanceFactoryImpl.createServiceInstance(ServiceInstanceFactoryImpl.java:48) at org.apache.axis2.jaxws.server.EndpointController.handleRequest(EndpointController.java:247) ... 39 more I use geronimo version 2.2.1 and geronimo.axis2 version is also 2.2.1. It seems like GeronimoFactoryRegistry is never set and therefore it's null and causes this exception. I have virtual hosts setup with geronimo can that have something to do with this? Or is this caused because I am missing something from my geronimo setup? Thanks in advance!
