Sun producer throwing NPE when UserContext is nil?

[Richard Jacob <richard.jacob@de.ibm.com>]

Hi,

it seems that the sun producer throws a NPE if we pass a nil UserContext
(which is allowed by the spec, i.e. WSDL).
Tested on the bookmark Portlet.
I have two request, where I think the difference seems to be only the
UserContext, in the first case it works in the second not.
But it's just a guess...
