Description

When rampart is unable to find "trusted certificate" for service address it gives a java.lang.NullPointerException. createHokAssertion method handles exception as follows,

throw new TrustException(
"errorInBuildingTheEncryptedKeyForPrincipal",
new String[]

{ serviceCert.getSubjectDN().getName() }

,
e);

But serviceCert could be null and due to this the proper error message is masked with a NullPointerException.
