This exception is thrown when deploying the following bean:

@Stateless
public class MyService implements MyServiceItf {

    public String hello(String msg) {
        return "Hello " + msg + "!";
    }

}

@WebService
public interface MyServiceItf {

    String hello(String ms);

}

Note that the bean does not have the @WebService annotation, which is the cause of this NPE.
I'm not sure exactly if this kind of deployment is legal or not so I can't provide a fix right now, but i'd
be happy to if pointed in the right direction.
