Description

If a user accidentally gives a wrong portType name in the wsdl:binding section, wsdl2java returns a NullPointerException without giving the user any feedback why. For example, for this portType:

<wsdl:portType name="HelloWorldPortType">
.....
</wsdl:portType>

The name should be tns:HelloWorldPortType in the binding:

<wsdl:binding name="HelloWorldSoapBinding" type="tns:HelloWorldPortType">
.....
</wsdl:binding>

But if the user accidentally has this in the WSDL:

<wsdl:binding name="HelloWorldSoapBinding" type="tns:HelloWorld"> (wrong type given)
.....
</wsdl:binding>

wsdl2java will return an NPE without any feedback about what the problem is.

GlassFish Metro correctly returns a user-friendly error message under these circumstances:
wsdl:portType "
