OC4J client with WCF Web Service using Mutual Certificates

Question

I'm trying to generate client stubs for a WCF web service.
I tried using docs here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10464_05/web.904/b10447/tools.htm
# OC4J 9.0.4
Java sdk 1.4.2_03
cd \dev\oc4j-9.0.4\webservices\lib
- config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<web-service>
<proxy-gen>
<proxy-dir>output/clientclass/examples/webservices/simple_client</proxy-dir>
<option name="include-source">true</option>
<option name="wsdl-location">
http://xxx.xxxxx.xxx:9000/WCFTestService/Service.svc?wsdl</option>
</proxy-gen>
</web-service>
java -jar WebServicesAssembler.jar -debug
- ends with NullPointerException:
<output>
     Please wait ...
     ..parsing top level elements
     ..generating client side proxy for wsdl :
                    http://xxx.xxxxx.xxx:9000/WCFTestService/Service.svc?wsdl
     ....compiling client side proxy for package :proxy
     Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
                         at oracle.j2ee.ws.tools.WsAssmProxyGenerator.doCompile(WsAssmProxyGenerator.java:284)

                         at oracle.j2ee.ws.tools.WsAssmProxyGenerator.clientGenerate(WsAssmProxyGenerator.java:112)

                         at oracle.j2ee.ws.tools.WsAssembler.main(WsAssembler.java:54)
</output>
- Then tried using Sun jdk to gen proxy:
# Just SDK
Java sdk 1.6.0_25
wsimport -keep -extension -d output -s src -p examples.webservices http://xxx.xxxxx.xxx:9000/WCFTestService/Service.svc?wsdl
<ListOfGeneratedJavaFiles>
CompositeType.java
GetData.java
GetDataResponse.java
GetDataUsingDataContract.java
GetDataUsingDataContractResponse.java
IService.java
ObjectFactory.java
package-info.java
Service.java
</ListOfGeneratedJavaFiles>
- creates the service and port, but where is the stub?
in my code I use the stub to set the certificate auth
     <codeSnip>
     // get the ws stub
     IService_Stub serviceStub = (IService_Stub)iSampleService;
     // add the credential providers to the ws stub
     serviceStub._setProperty(WSSecurityContext.CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER_LIST,
                                                  credProviders);
     </codeSnip>
# WebLogic 10.3.5
I'm happy to say that everything seems to work well under WebLogic 10.3.5.
I used weblogic.wsee.tools.anttasks.ClientGenTask with ant
to generate the proxy files.
<ListOfGeneratedJavaFiles>
IService.java
IService_Stub.java
Service.java
Service_Impl.java
</ListOfGeneratedJavaFiles>
I understand how to use these files and everything works.
But we need this to work in the OC4J orion server before we are ready to upgrade to WebLogic.
I have also tried OC4J 10.1.2.0.2 - same a OC4j 9.0.4 - null pointer.
I also tried Metro, but it uses wsimport, so also does not have a stub.
I'm out of ideas. Any pointers or advice are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

My guess would be that the server's certificate isn't in your client's trust-store (which defaults to "cacerts"). Chances are your senior architect has already imported the server-cert on his machine and forgotten he did so.
