I'm creating a new web service using JBoss 4.2.3.GA with the WS 3.0.5.GA CXF stack. The call is coming in correctly but I'm getting a NPE because of a null endpoint. The stack trace is below. I've dropped in to the debugger and verified what was already obvious that the endpoint was not being set. My question is what could cause this? Am I missing an import or maybe something else form the endpoint config? FWIW, this web service is configured via Spring. The service is bound correctly: | 2009-01-20 17:10:17,461 INFO [org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean] Creating Service {http://hostmanager.service.virtualizationmanager.desktone.com/}VMgrService from class com.desktone.virtualizationmanager.service.hostmanager.VMgrService | 2009-01-20 17:10:22,843 INFO [org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ServerImpl] Setting the server's publish address to be /VMgrService | And if I hit the URL with a ?wsdl on the end , I do get my wsdl definition back.
