Cannot attach a WS-Policy to Jax-RPC Web Service

Question

I am having trouble trying to associate a WS-Security Policy with a BEA Jax-RPC Web Service?
I am following the following procedure to try to associate a the policy:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/webservices/ConfigureWSPolicyFile.html
The problem is that when I navigate on the Administration Console to
Deployments
=> AdapterAdminService (this is the name of my application)
=> com.gateway.admin.wsdl.v10.AdminImpl (this is the name of my Web Service)
=> Configuration
=> WS-Policy
The Web console displays a stacktrace mentioning an "IndexOutOfBoundsException" :
Error opening /jsp/webservice/WebServiceConfigurationWebServicePoliciesForm.jsp.
The source of this error is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The property you provided 'contents' of form 'deploymentPlanForm' must not be set to null. at com.bea.console.taglib.html.TableTag.registerDataSet(TableTag.java:1588) at com.bea.console.taglib.html.TreeTableTag.doRegisterDataSet(TreeTableTag.java:49) at com.bea.console.taglib.html.TableTag.doStartTag(TableTag.java:1360) at jsp_servlet._jsp._webservice.__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform._jsp__tag9(__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform.java:498) at jsp_servlet._jsp._webservice.__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform._jsp__tag8(__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform.java:459) at jsp_servlet._jsp._webservice.__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform._jsp__tag7(__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform.java:416) at jsp_servlet._jsp._webservice.__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform._jspService(__webserviceconfigurationwebservicepoliciesform.java:265) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspBase.service(JspBase.java:34) at weblogic.servlet.internal.StubSecurityHelper$ServletServiceAction.run(StubSecurityHelper.java:226) at weblogic.servlet.internal.StubSecurityHelper.invokeServlet(StubSecurityHelper.java:124) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.execute(ServletStubImpl.java:283) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.execute(ServletStubImpl.java:175) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestDispatcherImpl.invokeServlet(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:528) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestDispatcherImpl.include(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:454) at org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.scoping.internal.ScopedRequestDispatcher.include(ScopedRequestDispatcher.java:119) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.JspContent.beginRender(JspContent.java:551) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.NetuiContent.beginRender(NetuiContent.java:363) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlLifecycle$7.visit(ControlLifecycle.java:483) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlTreeWalker.walkRecursiveRender(ControlTreeWalker.java:518) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlTreeWalker.walkRecursiveRender(ControlTreeWalker.java:529) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlTreeWalker.walkRecursiveRender(ControlTreeWalker.java:529) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlTreeWalker.walkRecursiveRender(ControlTreeWalker.java:529) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlTreeWalker.walkRecursiveRender(ControlTreeWalker.java:529) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlTreeWalker.walk(ControlTreeWalker.java:220) at com.bea.netuix.nf.Lifecycle.processLifecycles(Lifecycle.java:375) at com.bea.netuix.nf.Lifecycle.processLifecycles(Lifecycle.java:341) at com.bea.netuix.nf.Lifecycle.processLifecycles(Lifecycle.java:332) at com.bea.netuix.nf.Lifecycle.run(Lifecycle.java:306) at com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControl.render(UIControl.java:578) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.PresentationContext.render(PresentationContext.java:482) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.util.RenderToolkit.renderChild(RenderToolkit.java:146) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.jsp.taglib.RenderChild.doStartTag(RenderChild.java:62) at jsp_servlet._framework._skeletons._default.__gridlayout._jspService(__gridlayout.java:285) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspBase.service(JspBase.java:34) at weblogic.servlet.internal.StubSecurityHelper$ServletServiceAction.run(StubSecurityHelper.java:226) at weblogic.servlet.internal.StubSecurityHelper.invokeServlet(StubSecurityHelper.java:124) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.execute(ServletStubImpl.java:283) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.execute(ServletStubImpl.java:175) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestDispatcherImpl.invokeServlet(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:528) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestDispatcherImpl.include(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:454) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.application.laf.JspTools.renderJsp(JspTools.java:123) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.application.laf.JspControlRenderer.beginRender(JspControlRenderer.java:72) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.application.laf.PresentationControlRenderer.beginRender(PresentationControlRenderer.java:65) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlLifecycle$7.visit(ControlLifecycle.java:479) at com.bea.netuix.nf.ControlTreeWalker.walkRecursiveRender(ControlTreeWalker.java:518) at
I have this issue with both IE7 and Firefox 2. My domain is a WLS 10.0MP1 domain and is deployed on my Windows XP laptop.
I am generating the WS from WSDL with the following ant command:
          <wsdlc srcWsdl="${wsdl.location.path}/AdapterAdministration.wsdl"
               destJwsDir="${gen.compiled.wsdl.dir}"
               packagename="com.gateway.admin.wsdl.v10.server"
               destImplDir="server_impl_example" />
then
               <jwsc     srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${dist.dir}" classpathref="project.class.path" debug="true">
                         <jws file="com/gateway/admin/wsdl/v10/AdminImpl.java"
                              compiledWsdl="${gen.compiled.wsdl.dir}/AdapterAdministration_wsdl.jar" />
                    </jwsc>
and finally, I deploy it with:
          <wldeploy action="deploy"
               name="AdapterAdminService"
               source="${dist.dir}/AdminImpl.war"
               user="${wls.domain.user}"
               password="${wls.domain.pwd}"
               verbose="true"
               stage="no"
               upload="true"
               adminurl="t3://${wls.domain.host}:${wls.domain.port}"
               targets="${wls.domain.servername}" />
Do you have any idea what might be wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Svend

Hi all,
Some more information: I have created another very simple Jax-RPC Web Service, now using the @Policy annotation. The policy I specify is then correctly taken into account, but I still have the same symptom when I navigate to the Configuration => WS-Policy page on the Web Console (i.e., I cannot associate a WS-Policy to my WS with the Web Console)
Beginning of the JWS file:
@WebService(...)
@WLHttpTransport(serviceUri = "", portName = "AdapterAdmin")
@Binding(Binding.Type.SOAP12)
@Policy(uri="Wssp1.2-Http-UsernameToken-Digest.xml")
public class AdminImpl implements Admin {
Ant task I use to build and deploy the service:
<target name="build-service" depends="prepare">
          <mkdir dir="package"/>
          <mkdir dir="package/WEB-INF"/>
          <mkdir dir="package/WEB-INF/lib"/>
          <jwsc     
               srcdir="${src.dir}"
               destdir="package"
               classpathref="project.class.path"
               debug="true">
               <jws
                    file="com/gateway/admin/wsdl/v10/AdminImpl.java"
                    contextpath="/AdminImpl2"
                    explode="true"
               />
          </jwsc>
          <move todir="package/WEB-INF">
               <fileset dir="package/com/gateway/admin/wsdl/v10/AdminImpl/WEB-INF"></fileset>
          </move>
          <move todir="package/META-INF">

               <fileset dir="${lib.dir}"

          </copy>
          <delete dir="package/com" />
