Hi, We have a utility method in our parent handler viz. getOperationName() that retrieves the service operation name using the following code construct msgContext.getOperationMetaData().getJavaName(); We started out with JBossWS 1.2.0 on JBoss 4.0.5. However this method throws a NPE on all later versions of JBossWS (We have tried 1.2.1 GA and also 2.0.0 GA with JBoss versions 4.0.5 and 4.2) Is this call no longer valid? The parent handler extends from GenericHandler viz. public abstract class AbstractAspectHandler extends GenericHandler Any help in this matter is appreciated.
