Description

The following code is working when using JRE 5 with Axis2 1.5.1 and 1.5.6:

public static void test() throws Exception

{ ConfigurationContext ctx = ConfigurationContextFactory.createDefaultConfigurationContext(); String svcAddrress = "http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/era_aas"; Era_aasStub stub = new Era_aasStub(ctx,svcAddrress); Era_aasStub.UserIdentityIn in = new Era_aasStub.UserIdentityIn(); in.setCallerId("DMITRIY"); // more fields are set here, all are Strings Era_aasStub.UserProfile out = stub.loginUi(in); }

When I switch to JRE 6 using Axis 1.6.1 the code throws the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender.invoke(CommonsHTTPTransportSender.java:172)

The workaround I have found is to change the code as following (do not pass context to the stub constructor):

public static void test() throws Exception

{ ConfigurationContext ctx = ConfigurationContextFactory.createDefaultConfigurationContext(); String svcAddrress = "http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/era_aas"; Era_aasStub stub = new Era_aasStub(svcAddrress); // <-- this is the only change I had to make Era_aasStub.UserIdentityIn in = new Era_aasStub.UserIdentityIn(); in.setCallerId("DMITRIY"); // more fields are set here, all are Strings Era_aasStub.UserProfile out = stub.loginUi(in); }

However, this solution requires multiple code changes and also causes problems when we do need to pass context to the stub. Please advise if there is a proper way to make the code work using ConfigurationContextFactory.createDefaultConfigurationContext(). Additional details:

No custom configuration - I am using standard binary distribution of Axis 2 version 1.6.1. The service code is generated from WSDL using ADB data binding.
