    NullPointerException in ServiceGenerator

      Hi all,

      I tried to reference a wsdl document in bpel-definition.xml that is not in the process archive, but on the web. What happened is that the ant service-generator task failed with the exception

      org.jbpm.bpel.xml.BpelException: first role's port type not found [/process/partnerLinks/partnerLink[1]]

      The import in my bpel-definition.xml file looks like the following:
      <wsdl namespace="urn:sampleservice" location="http://localhost/SampleService?wsdl"/>


      Is it possible, to reference wsdl documents on the web in bpel-definition.xml files? And, if not, is there a reason for this?

          It is possible! jBPM BPEL would tell you if the referenced WSDL document is unreadable (try setting a bogus value in the attribute location).

          I think your partner link type is referencing a port type imported indirectly. There is a known issue about this: BPEL-61. A resolution already exists and will be included in jBPM BPEL 1.0 alpha 4 to be released last Friday :-) (I'm overdue!)
