NullPointerException processing headers without actor
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBWS-2432
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2432
             Project: JBoss Web Services
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: jbossws-native
    Affects Versions: jbossws-native-3.0.1
         Environment: JBoss 4.2.3, JDK 1.6_07, Ubuntu Linux 8.04
            Reporter: Jose Antonio


When processing headers in a handler and doing a call to SOAPMessageContext.getHeaders, It fails with a NullPointerException if the processed header does not define an actor.

The critical part is this:

public class SOAPMessageContextJAXWS extends MessageContextJAXWS implements SOAPMessageContext
...........................
  public Object[] getHeaders(QName qname, JAXBContext context, boolean allRoles)
.............................
               SOAPHeaderElement hElement = headerElements.next();
               Name hName = hElement.getElementName();
               if (qname.equals(new QName(hName.getURI(), hName.getLocalName())))
               {
                  URI actor = new URI(hElement.getActor());
                  if (roles.contains(actor) || allRoles)
                  {
                     headers.add(hElement);

                     // FIXME
                     // SOAPMessageContext.getHeaders should return unmarshalled objects
                     // http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-1105
                  }
               }
.......................................

So it calls to getActor over the header and it returns null, which makes the call to new URI to fail with NullPointerException. It should check that getActor is not null before calling to new URI.
