NPE in a cxf client because address == null, why?

[tuijldert]

Hi,

On deploying a JbossWS client on wildfly (10.1.0.Final) using the cxf client (5.1.5.Final ), I consistently get a NullPointerException on calling a WS method as in:

Interceptor for {xxx} has thrown exception, unwinding now: java.lang.NullPointerException

        at org.apache.cxf.transport.http.asyncclient.AsyncHTTPConduit.setupConnection(AsyncHTTPConduit.java:138)

Turns out the address parameter in setupConnection is indeed null.

What am I doing wrong wrt. this call?

How can I fill the address with something sensible?

TIA,

Tom.

Because, on creating the implementing client as in:

service = new TheUserService(wsdl, qName);

the specified wsdl could not be found due to a typo in the url, but this is not logged (?) and therefore escaped my attention.

Ah well, we live and learn.

Apologies for the spam.

Cheers,

Tom.
