Seem like the problem is not due to the firewall. After restarting the example LoanBroker service multiple times, I have observed that it would intermittently listen to port 1105 instead of port 9008.
<http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/file/n5746236/TCPView.png> I was able to get a response on the web services example client after changing the port from 9008 to 1105: public final class Client { //private static String url = "http://localhost:9008/loanBroker"; private static String url = "http://localhost:1105/loanBroker"; .... } <http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/file/n5746236/WSClientOutput.png> However, when I navigate my browser to "http://localhost:1105/loanBroker", I would see a NullPointerException: <http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/file/n5746236/NullPointerException.png> -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Problem-Running-Loan-Broker-Web-Service-Example-tp5746140p5746236.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
