             Summary: Null pointer exception in MTOM validation
                 Key: AXIOM-442
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-442
             Project: Axiom
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2.12
            Reporter: James Grahn


As part of an Axis2 workflow, my code validates incoming messages against 
schemas.   This seems to work in all cases except when the incoming message 
contains an MTOM attachment.

The code constructs a Source object for the part of the message to be 
validated, then calls the "validate" method on a properly constructed 
javax.xml.validation.Validator object:
Source validateMe = new OMSource(messagePart);
validator.validate(validateMe);

The error generated looks like this:
java.lang.NullPointerException

----

By the time it reaches my handler, I'm not fully certain what should be in the 
MTOM attachment element should contain, as it's reasonable to assume that the 
attachment has been extracted by then.   A NullPointerException doesn't seem 
appropriate, however.

A logging statement does show the attachment inline, encoded in Base64 (though 
I believe all incoming MTOM is represented that way if the envelope is printed 
for a log).
