Hi,

as long as I want to throw a CustomException within my service I receive an error during client generation:

!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.ws.xfire 4 0 2006-12-23 10:56:08.125
!MESSAGE Error generating services
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException

    at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:58)

Even extending XFireFault or FaultInfoException does not work. I just had a look inside the AbstractServiceGenerator’s getExceptionClass method:

private JClass getExceptionClass(GenerationContext context, FaultInfo faultInfo)
    {
        Map<String,JClass> exClasses = (Map<String,JClass>) 
            context.getProperty(FaultGenerator.EXCEPTION_CLASSES);
        
        return exClasses.get(faultInfo.getMessageName());
    }

so I guess I somehow miss sth. within my exception. Any Ideas where I am wrong?

Best regards,
Patrick

Patrick,

I assume you’re developing your service bottom up (starting with POJOs?) – could you paste the relevant POJOs here or email them to support@genuitec.com ATTN Brian? If you’re developing your services starting from a WSDL file, can you send us that instead?

If you do not throw this exception – does the client generation work as expected?

Hi Brian,

the error only occurs if I throw my own CustomException. As long as I throw java.lang.Exception everything works fine. I cropped everything but one method off the Interface and Implementation class (you’re right I’m using the bottom-up approach).

public interface UtilityServiceInterface {
public String generateKey(ClientCredentials credentials) throws ServiceException;
}

as long as a ServiceException is thrown, client generation fails with above exception. (While the service itself seems to work)

The exception looks like this, so nothing magic happens here:

public class ServiceException extends XFireFault  {


    public ServiceException() {
        super();
    }
    
    public ServiceException(Throwable cause) {
        super(cause);
    }
    
    public ServiceException(String message) {
        super(message, new QName(null, "Server.ServiceException"));
        
    }
    
    public ServiceException(String message, int key) {
        super(key + ": " + message, new QName(null, "Server.ServiceException"));
    }
}

The XFIRE generated WSDL contains some strange reference for ServiceException:

<xsd:complexType name="ServiceException">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="detail" nillable="true" type="xsd:anyType"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="faultCode" nillable="true" type="ns2:QName"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="message" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="namespaces" nillable="true" type="tns:anyType2anyType2anyTypeMapMap"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="reason" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="role" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="subCode" nillable="true" type="ns2:QName"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

With tns:anyType2anyType2anyTypeMapMap defined as:

<xsd:complexType name="anyType2anyType2anyTypeMapMap">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="entry">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="key" type="xsd:anyType"/>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="value" type="tns:anyType2anyTypeMap"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="anyType2anyTypeMap">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="entry">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="key" type="xsd:anyType"/>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="value" type="xsd:anyType"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

Maybe that gives a clue about whats wrong with my code. If custom exceptions are not intended to be used during the generation process, I can live with that. I simply liked the idea about custom faults by simply using typed Exceptions.

Thanks in advance (and thanks for myEclipse)

I am experiencing a similar problem. I too am using a web service that throws a custom exception (although let’s not assume that is actually the problem). A web service client proxy is generated with noproblems using WTP-1.5, NetBeans-5.5, Microsoft C# 2005, etc. Can you please advise what might be causeing this problem?
