Description

in RampartEngine class I get a NullPointerException in line 369 (method: isSecurityFault). Seems that this line:
if (faultCode.getTextAsQName().getNamespaceURI().equals(WSConstants.WSSE_NS))

{ return true; }

throws the exception because getTextAsQName() can return null and this should be handled.

Solution:

QName faultCodeQName = faultCode.getTextAsQName();
if (faultCodeQName == null) {
// handle exception
return false; // ?
} else {
if (faultCodeQName.getNamespaceURI().equals(WSConstants.WSSE_NS))

{ return true; }

}
