I'm following this tutorial to make my first webservice server and client. So, on a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse IDE, I`ve created the provider class:
public class AnimalTypeService {
public String animalType(String animal) {
String animalType = "";
if ("Lion".equals(animal)) {
animalType = "Wild";
} else if ("Dog".equals(animal)) {
animalType = "Domestic";
} else {
animalType = "I don't know!";
}
return animalType;
}
}
Then created a new web service using Eclipse's wizard, deployed, and it's all right with the server and with the Web Service Explorer from Eclipse. But when I run the generated Web Service Client Application created by the wizard, I get:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [jsp] in context with path [/MyDynamicWebProjectClient] threw exception [An exception occurred processing [sampleAnimalTypeServiceProxy/Result.jsp] at line [10]
7: <BODY>
8: <H1>Result</H1>
9:
10: <jsp:useBean id="sampleAnimalTypeServiceProxyid" scope="session" class="com.javapapers.jee.AnimalTypeServiceProxy" />
11: <%
12: if (request.getParameter("endpoint") != null && request.getParameter("endpoint").length() > 0)
13: sampleAnimalTypeServiceProxyid.setEndpoint(request.getParameter("endpoint"));
Stacktrace:] with root cause

Again, if I use Eclipse's Web Service Explorer I receive the correct answers from the server. Now why the generated client can't initialize AnimalTypeServiceSoapBindingStub (root cause)? Is this a Java or Eclipse problem? Any hint?
I'm using Tomcat 9, Eclipse 2020-09 (4.17.0) and compiling the code for java 8 with eclipse's openjdk.
