We have a WSDL file which defines a method that has a void return type, so the WSDL snippet looks like:
<message name='messageName'> <part name='return' /> </message> This is where we're getting a NullPointerException when generating the server-side code (see stacktrace below): [apply] java.lang.NullPointerException [apply] at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.Utils.holder(Utils.java:494) [apply] at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaWriterFactory.constructSignature(JavaWriterFactory.java:512) [apply] at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaWriterFactory.constructSignatures(JavaWriterFactory.java:478) [apply] at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaWriterFactory.writerPass(JavaWriterFactory.java:106) [apply] at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.Emitter.emit(Emitter.java:189) [apply] at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.Emitter.emit(Emitter.java:155) [apply] at org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java$WSDLRunnable.run(WSDL2Java.java:725) [apply] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) [apply] Result: 1 We're thinking that the NullPointerException is being thrown because there is no 'type' attribute for the <part> So the question is - what should we set the type attribute of the part tag when the return type is void? Thanks. Anuj.
