[Build 041006] User can delete web service in registry, but item representing web services is still in web project's web service reference subtree. User then get NPE when test web service's method. Steps to reproduce: 1) create new web project 2) into project add web service client 3) go to runtime tab -> Web Services regitry and delete web service 4) go to project tab and invoke test method from Web Service References subnode Get NPE because web service client was removed.
This is related to 49946 and the correct fix for that bug will also resolve this one. This bug was likely exposed by fixing Delete on a service in the registry so that the jar was actually removed. Now that the jar is truly gone, test cannot work. There is no need (nor should we) remove the reference from the project, as the reference has no dependence on the registry *except* for the test mode UI it offers. Note the user can regain functionality in the current build by re-adding the service back to the registry and then closing and reopening the project.
