Description

Hi,

I am running into a blocking issue since I've upgraded from Tomcat 7.0.73 to Tomcat 8.0.53, SOAP based web services are failing with the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Stream handler unavailable due to: null org.apache.felix.framework.URLHandlersStreamHandlerProxy.openConnection(URLHandlersStreamHandlerProxy.java:359)

Using a remote debugger, I was able to find that the real exception is actually a Null Pointer Exception thrown from URLHandlersStreamHandlerProxy.java, line 351:

return (URLConnection) OPEN_CONNECTION_PROXY.invoke(svc, new Object[]{url, proxy});

where OPEN_CONNECTION_PROXY is null (I've attached the full stacktrace).

Is there a fix available?
