webservice problem (Tomcat/Railo)

[Tom Sucaet]

I'm trying to call a webservice, but I get an
"java.lang.NullPointerException".

This is the code I run (on CentOS 5.5, Railo 3.2 with Apache Tomcat
6):
<cfset oWS = structNew() >
<cfset oWS = createObject("webservice","http://www.webservicex.net/
stockquote.asmx?WSDL")>
<cfdump var="#oWS#"><!--- This dump works, shows details of method and
arguments of the webservice --->

<cfdump var="#oWS.GetQuote("YHOO")#"><!--- This dump doesn't work:
"java.lang.NullPointerException", see stacktrace --->

When I tested this on Railo Express on Mac OS X, it works fine!
So, I think it has something to do with my Tomcat setup, but I didn't
find a solution.

Thanks!

Works for me using Tomcat / Railo 3.2 / Apache / Windows:

Tanx for checking out, looks I'll have to check my tomcat/railo
configuration.

Are you using the installer from Railo's website or did you configure it on your own? Can you hit *any* webservice out there? Do you have something blocking your call?

[Tom Sucaet]

I did setup a new box with CentOS 5.5 (64bit) and I used the installer
from viviotech (http://railo.viviotech.net/) for the installation of
railo and tomcat (=Railo 3.2 / Tomcat 6.0.29) which is pretty handy.
Everything is working fine, except those webservices calls. I also
tried with an internal webservice, but I got the same problem.
There's nothing that is blocking my call I think, because I can ping
to these webservices. I also can connect to the webservice, but it
shows the error when I tried to call a function of a webservice.

With some googling I found this:
http://www.tomcatexpert.com/ask-the-experts/tomcat-64-bit-webservice-connection-failures

Could it something has to do with Tomcat + 64bit?

[Todd Rafferty]

No idea, but the centos box and windows box I posted information from are both running 64 bit tomcat.

The only difference I see so far is you used Jordan's installer and I didn't. I manually setup my tomcat for some reason. Perhaps Jordan is using a newer Tomcat than what I'm using. I'm at work at the moment, so I can check for you.

[Todd Rafferty]

er.. can't check for you.

[Tom Sucaet]

I have setup the same configuration in a local VM (with VirtualBox)
and everything seems working, so it has probably nothing to do with
railo, tomcat or 64bit.
I'll start with a "fresh" installation.
