It used to work until I re-installed the application server. I deployed a project that caused the application server to never finish starting properly. When reinstalling I used Java Application Platform SDK Update 2 which includes access manager. I told NetBeans about the new location of the App Server and am able to deploy projects to it. When I right click a web service or web service client and select "Edit Web Service Attributes", I get the following stack dump: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.api.configurator.ProviderConfigurator.setModel(ProviderConfigurator.java:516) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.api.configurator.ProviderConfigurator.addModifier(ProviderConfigurator.java:189) at org.netbeans.modules.identity.profile.ui.WSPSecurityPanel.<init>(WSPSecurityPanel.java:72) 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:597) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:273) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:183) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:173) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:168) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:160) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:121)

We need to provider better error handling when the IDE can't locate the am installation.
In the mean time is there a workaround? I've tried re-installing the entire IDE and enterprise pack. When I right click my web service and click "Edit Web Service Attributes" I get the same problem. I suspect the problem is some settings in my project file(s).
I reinstalled the app server and entire netbeans suite several times with no success initially. The last time I did it I renamed the "C:\Documents and Settings\ryan\.netbeans\5.5" folder before reinstalling. This seems to have gotten me back to a point where I can get to the "Edit Web Service Attributes" screen without a NPE. Also note that I used the tools setup that comes with netbeans, ent pack, app server, access manager etc... my previous attempts used the "Java Application Platform SDK Update 2" setup without netbeans.
