NullPointerException while using wsdl2java with asynchronous binding

[Blue Cat <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I followed the instructions on:

http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/developing-a-consumer.html

to generate asynchronous client stub code. I took the wsdl example on the
page, make this change:

<wsdl:operation name="greetMeSometime">
           <soap:operation style="document"/>
           <wsdl:input>
               <soap:body use="literal"/>
           </wsdl:input>
           <wsdl:output>
               <soap:body use="literal"/>
               <soap:header message="tns:HEADER"
                    part="header" use="literal"/>
           </wsdl:output>
       </wsdl:operation>

I defined the "HEADER" wsdl message in this file and it is correct.

Then I run this:

wsdl2java -ant -client -d ClientDir -b async_binding.xml hello_world.wsdl

and got null pointer exception error:

Looks like wsdl2java cannot generate asynchronous client when there is a
soap:header defined in output.
