I'm trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/amsecurity-liberty.html and am using daily builds of the IDE and Enterprise Pack from Sept 25. In the "Securing Web Services Using a Liberty Security Mechanism" section, step 2 says to edit the web service attributes. When I select Edit Web Services Attribute from the context menu, the dialog box does not display. Instead, I get a NullPointerException (message log file is attached). FWIW, after I dismissed the exception dialog, I tried again and got a different exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: setSelectedIndex: 0 out of bounds at javax.swing.JComboBox.setSelectedIndex(JComboBox.java:595) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.api.configurator.ProviderConfigurator.setModel(ProviderConfigurator.java:517) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.api.configurator.ProviderConfigurator.addModifier(ProviderConfigurator.java:189) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.ui.WSPSecurityPanel.<init>(WSPSecurityPanel.java:71) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.ui.WSPSectionNode.createNodeInnerPanel(WSPSectionNode.java:58) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.SectionNode.createInnerPanel(SectionNode.java:93) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.ui.SectionNodePanel.createInnerpanel(SectionNodePanel.java:96) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.ui.SectionPanel.openInnerPanel(SectionPanel.java:180) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.ui.SectionNodePanel.openInnerPanel(SectionNodePanel.java:106) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.ui.SectionNodePanel.setExpandedViewMode(SectionNodePanel.java:72) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.ui.SectionNodePanel.<init>(SectionNodePanel.java:48) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.SectionNode.getSectionNodePanel(SectionNode.java:165) at org.netbeans.modules.xml.multiview.ui.SectionNodeView.setRootNode(SectionNodeView.java:73) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.ui.WSPSecurityView.<init>(WSPSecurityView.java:36) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.ui.editor.SecurityWSEditor.setUpSecurityPanel(SecurityWSEditor.java:154) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.ui.editor.SecurityWSEditor.createWSEditorComponent(SecurityWSEditor.java:85) at org.netbeans.modules.websvc.core.wseditor.support.EditWSAttributesTopComponent.addTabs(EditWSAttributesTopComponent.java:48) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.websvc.core.wseditor.support.EditWSAttributesCookieImpl$1.run(EditWSAttributesCookieImpl.java:83) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:209) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:461) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:242) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:163) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:157) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:149) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:110)

The sept 25 build was broken due to installer switch and required manual modification in order for the identity features to work propertly. I just tried the build from sept 25 our milestone build 21 which has this problem fixed and I don't see the problem you report. Please use this build for your testing.
