Error description
When using the Web Services wizard provided with AST to generate a java bean skeleton from a wsdl file, the wizard appears to hang after clicking the next push button. Looking in the .log file stored in the .metadata folder of the workspace, you may see a NullPointerException (Null Pointer Exception) in WizardPageManager.performFinish class: WizardPageManager method: performFinish
Local fix
Problem can appear if the project was created without an associated WAS Runtime. To resolve, do the following: 1) From Project Explorer view, select the project containing the wsdl. 2) Right click to open context menu and choose "Properties". 3) On properties view, select "Project Facets". 4) Click "Add/Remove Project Facets...". 5) Click "<<Show Runtimes". 5) Select a desired runtime. Note, you may only see the runtime WebSphere Application Server v6.1 stub. If so, select it. 6) Click "Finish". 7) Click OK. This should allow you to now generate the java bean skeleton.
