    Description

      When the serviceClass property is set to an empty string or not defined in a client definition a NullpointerException is thrown:
      <jaxws:client id="customerService"
      serviceName="customer:CustomerServiceService"
      endpointName="customer:CustomerServiceEndpoint"
      address="http://localhost:9090/CustomerServicePort"
      serviceClass="">
      </jaxws:client>

      The issue can be easily reproduced by deleting the setting the serviceClass like above in the WSDL first example and starting the CustomerServiceSpringClient.

      I think we should throw a meaningfull Exception that says that serviceClass has to be set to the fully qualified name of the service interface. The question is only: Where is the right place to put this?

      The exception is attached below:
