Hi,

In the flowable-cxf module there are quite a number of unit tests showing how to use the web service task in Flowable. Maybe it’s a good idea to have a look at these unit tests and compare them with your implementation. The NPE is thrown because the StructureDefinition is null I think, and that should never happen.

Best regards,

Tijs

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have gone through the flowable-cxf examples, based on that i executed the above example.I have created soap project and running in 9090 port.that i am trying to access through web service task in bpmn. Can any on help on this.

Thanks,
Subbu

Does the wsdl posted above contain everything?
Can you post both the .bpmn20.xml (instead of an image) and .wsdl file (or upload it somewhere) so we can run the test. Looking at the exception, the structure of the message is null, which means the message hasn’t been properly defined. But the actual test files would help a lot here.

Hi joram,

I have uploaded the bpmn and wsdl files in github public repository. Please check below link to access the files,

HelloWorldImpl.wsdl
SoapTest.bpmn20.xml

Please let me know if you need more info.

Regards,
Subbu
