Hi, I upgraded from 2.3.2 to 2.4, and I'm getting a NullPointerException when I try to create a dynamic client.
Code: DynamicClientFactory dcf = JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.newInstance(); Client client = dcf.createClient(wsdlUrl, service, DynamicClientFactory.class.getClassLoader(), port); stacktrace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceFactory.<init>(WSDLServiceFactory.java:67) at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceFactory.<init>(WSDLServiceFactory.java:84) at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ClientImpl.<init>(ClientImpl.java:152) at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.dynamic.DynamicClientFactory.createClient(DynamicClientFactory.java:255) at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.dynamic.DynamicClientFactory.createClient(DynamicClientFactory.java:198) at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.dynamic.DynamicClientFactory.createClient(DynamicClientFactory.java:191) Line 67 in WSDLServiceFactory is: definition = getBus().getExtension(WSDLManager.class).getDefinition(wsdlUrl); I tested, and getBus().getExtension(WSDLManager.class) is returning null. What's the proper way to make sure the bus has the extension manager / is properly initialized? With 2.3.2, I didn't need to worry about it, but it looks like I do with 2.4.0. A little more information: I'm including my code in an application that has a somewhat complex class loader hierarchy. It worked as-is with 2.3.2. The class loader used to load the CXF jars should be this class's classloader's parent. Also, if I just write a POJO with a main method, and thow this in, it *does not* give me the NPE; the NPE only comes from inside the full application: DynamicClientFactory dcf = JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.newInstance(); Bus bus = CXFBusFactory.getThreadDefaultBus(); WSDLManager extension = bus.getExtension(WSDLManager.class); Thank you, Kevin
