As there hasn't been any response on axis-user, I thought I should forward it to axis-dev. The question is, is it a bug, or just a missing feature. If you think it is a bug, just tell me, and I can put it into Bugzilla, if you want.

Beans with public attributes instead of getters Hi, is it true that Axis does not support beans that have public attributes instead of private attributes with public getter- and setter-methods? (Yes, I know... such a "bean" is - strictly speaking - no real bean.) I always get NullPointerExceptions when I try to access the WSDL file in such cases. Have a look at the files I've attached. It is a very simple Web Service, that gives back a TestResult object: public class TestResult { public String one; public int two; } When I try to access http://localhost:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet/TestWebservice?WSDL I get back the error message: <h2>AXIS error</h2> <p>Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:</p> <pre>java.lang.NullPointerException </pre> Tomcat prints a stack trace (see below). BTW: I'm using yesterday's nightly build of AXIS. After adding getter-Methods to TestResult everything works fine. Is it a bug, or a (missing) feature?
