NPE in AxisServlet during AdminClient work

           Summary: NPE in AxisServlet during AdminClient work
           Product: Axis
           Version: current (nightly)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Basic Architecture
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: stevel@apache.org


Error 500 received during AdminClient call: 

The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling
this request.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;exception&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;java.lang.NullPointerException

Now the root cause is something on my machine (I cant replicate it over both),
but there seems to be a way of creating an NPE in the servlet that should not
be allowed. Will explore further.
