NPE in RampartMessageData prevents fault being returned to service consumer
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RAMPART-293
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAMPART-293
             Project: Rampart
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: rampart-core
    Affects Versions: 1.5
         Environment: Oracle OC4J 10.1.3, Axis2 1.5.1, Rampart 1.5
            Reporter: Michael Strasser
            Assignee: Ruchith Udayanga Fernando


When Rampart throws an exception due to policy violation or a provided handler throws an exception because of incorrect credentials, the SOAP fault that is created never reaches the consumer because RampartMessageData.<init> throws an NPE in line 372.

The NPE occurs because the MessageContext object it is given has no AxisService. Most code in the constructor checks for null axisService but this line doesn't. A suggested patch is:

--- RampartMessageData.java	Wed Apr 21 16:51:31 2010
+++ RampartMessageData.java	Wed Apr 21 16:51:31 2010

-            this.customClassLoader = msgCtx.getAxisService().getClassLoader();
+            if (axisService != null) {
+                this.customClassLoader = axisService.getClassLoader();
+            }

I don't know if there are ramifications of having a null customClassLoader beyond this point: probably not, given that the web service call is failing!
