[Solved] Can't consume addUser web service

[Ana Mendoza, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hello all,

We have a ColdFusion integration for Liferay that was working fine on 6.0 CE, but after I upgraded to 6.1.1 CE GA2 the addUser web service stopped working. I cannot see any changes on the method parameters, but stills it fails to add new users.

The URL I'm using for the web service is: http://localhost:8080/api/secure/axis/Portal_UserService?wsdl

And this is the exception I'm getting:

11:07:17,707 ERROR [http-8080-7][UserServiceSoap:456] java.lang.NullPointerException

As you can see I tried with addUserWithWorkflow too, but it's throwing the same error. As far as I can tell it's failing to check the user permissions to add a new user but I don't know what else to check. User should have permission to add users, it's an Administrator.

Other web services seem to be working as expected, for example, updateUser works fine.

I think some additional argument have been added.

Thank you, I fixed it (or at least it seems to work fine now). I had to add "serviceContext" with value "null" to the list of arguments. I had tried it before which led me to think that it wasn't the problem, but I didn't do it properly.

Hopefully this will help someone with the same issue.

There's a web service sample in the following page with 6.1.0 sample in the attachment.
