I've gotten a bit farther and found the error occurred in a custom handler. The problem is that nearly all fields (axisOperation, axisService, etc.) in the MessageContext parameter object are null.
This handler is called from the AxisEngine class, which is called from the HTTPTransportUtils class. What would be causing the MessageContext object in the HTTPTransportUtils class to have the null fields? Thanks for any tips. ________________________________ From: Jack Sprat <rexclaim...@yahoo.com> To: "axis-u...@ws.apache.org" <axis-u...@ws.apache.org> Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 3:51 PM Subject: [Axis2] How to debug NPE I've got a new Axis2 1.5.2 web service using XML Beans binding. The code was generated with WSDL2Java. I can access the WSDL using the ?wsdl link. There is a simple echo operation to test connectivity. This yields a Null Pointer exception in the SOAP reply. My question is how do I debug this? I have a breakpoint in my service class but it is not getting that far. Thanks.
