NullPointerException when deploying

[Gaël Pouzerate <gp...@frisurf.no>]

Hi,

I'm using Apache Axis beta2 (on weblogic5.1)
I'm trying to deploy a web service by running:
  java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient CustomerManagmentAPI.wsdd
-lhttp://localhost:7654/axis/services/AdminService

But on the server side (weblogic5.1), there's an exception occuring in
Axis saying:
135/05  14:29:06,496[ExecuteThread-11] ERROR
org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet - Exception:

        at weblogic.kernel.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:129)

And my descriptor file is very simple:
  <deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
            xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
    <service name="CustomerManagmentAPI" >
      <parameter name="className"
                 value="com.foo.custmgmt.CustomerManagmentAPI"/>
      <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>
    </service>
  </deployment>

Any good idea on how to solve this??
