call/ start bpel process from web application
hello,
i have created my own bpel process, deployed it use an ant script and tested it using soap ui. it seems that so far everything works fine.
now i have created an web application in eclipse (dynamic web project) and i want to call/ invoke/ start the bpel process from an servlet inside the web application. therefore i want to create a web service client in eclipse (new -> other -> web services -> web service client). i typed in the address of the bpel process wsdl
configuration:
- server: jboss v4.2
- web service runtime: apache axis
and clicked finish, but then i get the following error:
IWAB0014E Unexpected exception occurred. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jst.ws.internal.axis.consumption.ui.task.Stub2BeanCommand.execute(Stub2BeanCommand.java:121) at org.eclipse.jst.ws.internal.axis.consumption.ui.task.ClientCodeGenOperation$ClientWSModifyOperation.execute(ClientCodeGenOperation.java:110) at org.eclipse.jst.ws.internal.axis.consumption.ui.task.ClientCodeGenOperation.execute(ClientCodeGenOperation.java:61) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.core.fragment.CommandFragmentEngine.runCommand(CommandFragmentEngine.java:419) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.core.fragment.CommandFragmentEngine.visitTop(CommandFragmentEngine.java:359) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.core.fragment.CommandFragmentEngine.moveForwardToNextStop(CommandFragmentEngine.java:254) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.ui.widgets.SimpleCommandEngineManager$6.run(SimpleCommandEngineManager.java:294) at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext.runInCurrentThread(ModalContext.java:369) at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext.run(ModalContext.java:313) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.run(WizardDialog.java:934) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.ui.widgets.SimpleCommandEngineManager.runForwardToNextStop(SimpleCommandEngineManager.java:264) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.ui.widgets.WizardPageManager.runForwardToNextStop(WizardPageManager.java:91) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.ui.widgets.WizardPageManager.performFinish(WizardPageManager.java:262) at org.eclipse.wst.command.internal.env.ui.widgets.DynamicWizard.performFinish(DynamicWizard.java:380) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.finishPressed(WizardDialog.java:742) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.buttonPressed(WizardDialog.java:373) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$2.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:618) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener.java:227) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:66) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:938) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:3682) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3293) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java:820) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:796) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.NewWizardAction.run(NewWizardAction.java:182) at org.eclipse.jface.action.Action.runWithEvent(Action.java:498) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection(ActionContributionItem.java:546) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.access$2(ActionContributionItem.java:490) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem$5.handleEvent(ActionContributionItem.java:402) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:66) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:938) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:3682) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3293) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:2389) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2353) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$4(Workbench.java:2219) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$4.run(Workbench.java:466) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:289) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:461) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:106) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:169) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:106) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:76) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:363) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:176) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:508) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:447) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1173)
