I am using MyEclipse 7.5 Blue edition and wanted to go through the Web Services tutorial. Whenever I try to create a new Web Services Project I get a null pointer exception.

Please advise where to find error log so that I can provide more details.

I urgently need to develop a WebService so would appreciate a speedy response.

Cheers

Jim

Jim,

Quote:

Log file is located at workspace dir > .metadata > .log.
Can you copy paste your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary> Installation Details?
Also, can you switch to a new workspace and check if the issue persists?

Hi Shalini,

Below is the installation summary.

Following that is the full .log from a brand new workspace where I have selected "New Project ...", then highlighted Web Service Project and hit next.

If I double click Web Services Project instead of using next button I get the error shown in the second log extract.

Can you try using -clean as mentioned in the link below -
http://myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-10280.html

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Shalini,

Tried "-clean" option on startup and unfortunately still got the same null pointer abend trying to create a WebServices project.

Cheers

Jim

Jim,
Can you try using pulse?
The following are the steps.
1. Download pulse from poweredbypulse.com.
2. Open pulse explorer and login anonymously.
3. Your profile should be listed under MyProfiles in the left pane. Select your profile. Right click and from the context menu select "Re-install and Run"
Pulse will automatically resolve any conflicts.
Let me know if that helps.

Morning Shalini,

I had problems running Pulse due to company firewalls so I bit the bullet, deleting the Genutec directory in Program FIles to remove MyEclipse and re-installing from the original installation file.

This seems to have done the trick and things are working again now - I have no idea how the original installation could have got corrupted.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Cheers

Jim

Jim,
Good to know that you all set.
Do let us know if you have any issues.

I'm building top-down web services into an existing Web application project via your tutorial:

http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/webservices_overview/#Project_Capabilities

Not a bad tutorial lso far, but it left my web.xml completely un-runnable. Here's the top content changed while ading the xfire web services capability:

The newly added javaee namespace definition and tags are the culprit.
What do I need to do to now support these new tags added by your tool?
