WSS throwing NPE
I am trying to call a SOAP service running in my IDE on my local machine. It uses SSL and the messages must be signed/encrypted/timestamped.
Everything appears to be set up correctly and when invoking a method I get no SSL type error.
What I am getting is a WSS message:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "s" is null
Help! I have no clue here.
From the log.

This particular NPE in the digest process is almost always due to a missing or mismatched Reference URI.
Double-check that each reference in the signature refers to a real, non-null, and properly tagged element in the request.
Matching IDs (wsu:Id) and configuration between your WSS profile and your actual SOAP message is critical
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
