             Summary: Possible null dereference in ServiceStub class
                 Key: AXIS2-5863
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5863
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: codegen
    Affects Versions: 1.7.5
            Reporter: Petr Dvorak


We use Coverity Scan tool to audit our open-source code against security 
vulnerabilities. Possible NullPointerException was detected in Axis2 generated 
ServiceStub class code. The issue occurs in following generated code:

{code:java}
} finally {
    if (_messageContext.getTransportOut() != null) {
        _messageContext.getTransportOut().getSender()
        .cleanup(_messageContext);
    }
}
{code}

In case "_messageContext" is set to null, the if condition throws NPE. Also, we 
can see the path on how this variable value actually may become null, so we 
believe the issue is valid and null check should be present...

Here are possible implications of the issue from the security perspective:
