I am getting the following error while generating a web service in an existing project:

An internal error occurred during: “Generating JAX-WS Web Services”
java.lang.NullPointerException

I do not get this error if I create a service in an empty web service project. I am following the web service tutorial Calculator example and I am just trying to duplicate that service in my project. I have read some other threads and have tried the -clean solution.

Here is the error log entry:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2008-12-10 11:01:56.728

Anyone have a clue?

Warren,

First off let me apologize for us missing this thread, didn’t mean to let that get buried in the rush of releasing 7.0. Secondly, let’s try and figure out what is different between the working project (new) and the busted project (existing).

Can you clarify what kind of project the old one is? You can get a better (technical) idea of this by switching to the navigator view and opening the .project files and comparing them to see what is literally different between the two.

This is the project that works:

Warren,

Do you see this error if you uncheck the “Generate WSDL in project” option?

Does your 2nd project have a <Project>/WebRoot/WEB-INF folder or have you customized this in any way? I believe the WSDL generation / copy into your project is failing for some reason, causing issues with further generation.

[warish]

There is no error if I uncheck “Generate WSDL in project” option. A sun-jaxws.xml does get generated. Yes my project is set-up with a /WebRoot/WEB-INF folder.

[warish]

WEB-INF contains a spring applicationContext.xml file, the web.xml file and a file I use for security called scanman.hive. I removed everything except web.xml and I still get the error.

[Brian Fernandes]

Warren,

Before generating the service, can you clear out your error log and observe if any additional errors are being logged besides the one you mentioned in your first post?
I assume you are looking at bottom up generation and generating using a simple Calculator class from the scanman1 project.

Also, can you please paste the contents of your .mymetadata file here? This file is in your project root, it may be hidden due to a Package / Project explorer filter.

Warren,

Could you please confirm that you are generating from a calculator class that exists in the scanman1 project? Have you made any changes to the class specified in the tutorial? Also, a delegate class should be generated before the operation fails, does this happen?
Are both your projects in the same workspace – what is the file system path of the scanman1 project?

I must admit that I have no idea why this could be failing in your particular project. Would it be possible for you to send a copy of your project (minus any files / resources that are sensitive) to support@genuitec.com with ATTN Brian as the subject?
Sorry for the inconvenience caused, we are trying to get to the bottom of this asap.

Yes

Have you made any changes to the class specified in the tutorial?

It is in a different package

Also, a delegate class should be generated before the operation fails, does this happen?

Yes

Yes

– what is the file system path of the scanman1 project?

/Users/Warren/Development/eclipse/scanman1

I will send you the project
