Ive been doing more research on my problem, and have managed to get an ODE BPEL process deployed inside servicemix talking to a axis2 webservice inside tomcat via HTTPS.
However, when i try to dynamically call this web service i get the same error (below). ERROR - HttpComponent - Error processing exchange InOut[ id: ID:192.168.1.101-123f8e602e3-2:1 status: Active role: provider service: {urn:servicemix:http}HttpComponent endpoint: https://localhost:8443/axis2/services/VosSvr operation: {urn:servicemix:http}echo in: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><echo xmlns="http://ws.test"> <input>G12345</input> </echo> ] java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.servicemix.http.processors.CommonsHttpSSLSocketFactory.<init>(CommonsHttpSSLSocketFactory.java:47) at org.apache.servicemix.http.processors.ProviderProcessor.getHostConfiguration(ProviderProcessor.java:269) at org.apache.servicemix.http.processors.ProviderProcessor.process(ProviderProcessor.java:160) at org.apache.servicemix.soap.SoapEndpoint.process(SoapEndpoint.java:367) at org.apache.servicemix.common.AsyncBaseLifeCycle.doProcess(AsyncBaseLifeCycle.java:600) at org.apache.servicemix.common.AsyncBaseLifeCycle.processExchange(AsyncBaseLifeCycle.java:554) at org.apache.servicemix.common.AsyncBaseLifeCycle.onMessageExchange(AsyncBaseLifeCycle.java:510) at org.apache.servicemix.common.SyncLifeCycleWrapper.onMessageExchange(SyncLifeCycleWrapper.java:60) at org.apache.servicemix.jbi.messaging.DeliveryChannelImpl.processInBound(DeliveryChannelImpl.java:620) at org.apache.servicemix.jbi.nmr.flow.AbstractFlow.doRouting(AbstractFlow.java:172) at org.apache.servicemix.jbi.nmr.flow.seda.SedaFlow.doRouting(SedaFlow.java:168) at org.apache.servicemix.jbi.nmr.flow.seda.SedaQueue$1.run(SedaQueue.java:134) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:650) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:675) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) ERROR - BpelRuntimeContextImpl - Invalid response state for mex hqejbhcnphr4midnmaigjo: ASYNC The bpel to assign the dynamic endpoint is as follows: <bpws:assign name="assignEndpoint"> <bpws:copy> <bpws:from> <bpws:literal><wsa:EndpointReference><wsa:Address></wsa:Address></wsa:EndpointReference></bpws:literal> </bpws:from> <bpws:to variable="endpointRef"/> </bpws:copy> <bpws:copy> <bpws:from>concat("https://localhost:8443", "/axis2/services/VosSvr")</bpws:from> <bpws:to>$endpointRef/wsa:Address</bpws:to> </bpws:copy> <bpws:copy> <bpws:from>$endpointRef</bpws:from> <bpws:to partnerLink="EchoServicePartnerLink"/> </bpws:copy> </bpws:assign> And my xbean to provide the http endpoint is: <http:endpoint service="test:EchoService" endpoint="EchoServiceSOAP11port_http" role="provider" soap="true" locationURI="https://localhost:8443/axis2/services/EchoService" wsdlResource="classpath:EchoService.wsdl" soapVersion="1.1"> <http:ssl> <http:sslParameters keyStore="classpath:.keystore" keyStorePassword="changeit" trustStore="classpath:.keystore" trustStorePassword="changeit"/> </http:ssl> </http:endpoint> It seems to me that if I assign the endpoint in BPEL code then it overwrites the previous information that was there, as I said, if I don't assign it then all works as I would expect. Can someone please advise as I do need dynamic endpoints in my project. Thanks, Ian Harrigan
