PK27779: UNABLE TO CREATE JAVA BEAN SKELETON FROM WSDL USING THE WEB SERVICE WIZARD.

6.1.1: Application Server Toolkit V6.1 Refresh Pack 1 for Windows
6.1.1: Application Server Toolkit V6.1 Refresh Pack 1 for Linux

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the Web Services wizard provided with AST to generate
  a java bean skeleton from a wsdl file, the wizard appears to
  hang after clicking the next push button.  Looking in the
  .log file stored in the .metadata folder of the workspace, you
  may see a NullPointerException (Null Pointer Exception) in
  WizardPageManager.performFinish
  class: WizardPageManager
  method: performFinish
  

Local fix

• Problem can appear if the project was created without an
  associated WAS Runtime.  To resolve, do the following:
  1) From Project Explorer view, select the project containing
  the wsdl.
  2) Right click to open context menu and choose "Properties".
  3) On properties view, select "Project Facets".
  4) Click "Add/Remove Project Facets...".
  5) Click "<<Show Runtimes".
  5) Select a desired runtime.  Note, you may only see the runtime
  WebSphere Application Server v6.1 stub.  If so, select it.
  6) Click "Finish".
  7) Click OK.
  This should allow you to now generate the java bean skeleton.

  A NullPointerException will occur when creating a java bean
  skeleton web service from a WSDL file if the targeting project
  does not have a runtime.
