[ERROR,PortProxy] Port error - jboss WS examle not working

[jofi]

running: ant -Dchap=chap12 -Dex=2 run-example with jboss4.0.1sp1 gives this error:
[java] Contacting webservice at ....
[java] hello.hello(JBoss user)
[java] [ERROR,PortProxy] Port error
[java] java.lang.NullPointerException
[java] at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396)
[java] at
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl.setProp
ty(SAXParserImpl.java:395)
...

Its a kind of disappointing that even the examples included does not work. It very easy to get frustrated as the hours pass by trying to figure out why.

Anyone who can shed some light on how to get the examples working?

Switching to the DukesBank solved all my problems! :-)
It worked right away, and should work as a great template to get into this WS thing

I created a JIRA issue for that, sorry about that.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-178

I am running with JDK 1.5.0 (and have 1.4.2 installed on machine) with JBoss 4.0.2.

The example builds and deploys ok, but the run-example1 and run-example2
ant jobs are failing with

run-example2:
[copy] Copying 1 file to P:\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy
[echo] Waiting for 5 seconds for deploy...
[java] Contacting webservice at http://localhost:8080/hello-ejb/Hello?wsdl
[java] hello.hello(JBoss user)
[java] [ERROR,PortProxy] Port error
[java] java.lang.NullPointerException
[java] at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396)
[java] at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl.setProperty(SAXParserImpl.java:395)

Is there a resolution to this problem? I have seen a comment about uninstalling JDK1.5, thats not really an option for me!!!

Any suggestions on how I progress this issue appreciated.

Thanks, John

Here is another issue in Jira for the same problem: -

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-187

Looking at recent issues Thomas has been unable to reproduce this problem, hopefully the test case I have attached will help.
