NullPointerException in ServiceV: AbstractDefinitionContext

I have a project in Ready! API, which has a Virt that I've started. When I try to access the Virt using SoapUI NG, I get the NPE below. I was originally using 1.7.0, but I have now upgraded to 1.8.0 and the problem is the same.

This causes the following response to be returned to SoapUI:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <soapenv:Fault>
         <faultcode>Server</faultcode>
         <faultstring>java.lang.NullPointerException</faultstring>
      </soapenv:Fault>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

  • The problem was caused by a space outside the URL in the WSDL. A fix to avoid it from causing NPE will come in a maintenance release - in the mean time the workaround is to avoid spaces around URLs :-)
