> The issue has been traced back to the {{StaxInInterceptor}} around this code:
> {code:java}
> if (contentType == null) {
> //if contentType is null, this is likely a an empty
> post/put/delete/similar, lets see if it's
> //detectable at all
> Map<String, List<String>> m = CastUtils.cast((Map<?,
> ?>)message.get(Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS));
> if (m != null) {
> List<String> contentLen = HttpHeaderHelper
> .getHeader(m, HttpHeaderHelper.CONTENT_LENGTH);
> List<String> contentTE = HttpHeaderHelper
> .getHeader(m, HttpHeaderHelper.CONTENT_TRANSFER_ENCODING);
> if ((StringUtils.isEmpty(contentLen) ||
> "0".equals(contentLen.get(0)))
> && StringUtils.isEmpty(contentTE)) {
> return;
> }
> }
> }
> {code}
> The endpoint is responding with an empty {{Content-Type}} header and is using
> chunked encoding, so it's setting the {{Transfer-Encoding}} header and
> omitting the {{Content-Length}} header. These combined attributes cause the
> {{StaxInInterceptor}} to return before the {{XMLStreamReader}} is created and
> put in the {{Message}}, causing the NPE down the chain. While I certainly
> feel that the endpoint shouldn't respond in such a way, the NPE in CXF is
> probably not the best way to handle this odd response from the endpoint.
