NullPointer exceptiuon on deploy

Question

I am getting an error on a deploy. I have reduced the BPEL script to a minimum, this being,
a) client invokes WS A (sync)
b) WS A invokes WS B (async)
c) WS A receives from WS B
d) WS A replies to client
When I deploy WS A the server log gives me the following text:
The process domain encountered the following errors while loading the process "source" (revision "1.0"): null.
If you have installed a patch to the server, please check that the bpelcClasspath domain property includes the patch classes.

Can anyone suggest the problem or a strategy for locating the problem?

Answer 1

I think I have found when I get this error and probably I have found a bug. I will appreciate if someone can confirm this.
In my BPEL project setup, my BPEL process's wsdl file imports another wsdl from different namespace. Here is sample snippet -
<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://namespace/1">
<wsdl:import namespace="http://namespace/2" location="resources/another.wsdl"/>
<plnk:partnerLinkType....../>
</wsdl:definitions>
Please let me know. I checked the bundled samples with Oracle BPEL PM and did not find any similar case where process wsdl imports another wsdl.
Thank you.
