getting java.lang.NullPointerException when using soap

Question

I am soapClient to access web service as follows.

$con = new SoapClient('wsdl url');
$array = array("apiRequestDetails" => array(
            "id" => "0000045399",
            "mobile" => "9843484142",
            "pin" => "b59c67bf196a4758191e42f76670ceba",
            "refNumber" => "222",
            "serviceCode" => "23",
            "trxnTraceId" => "1",
            "value" => "200.068879335"
    
    ));
$det = $con->__call('initiatePayment', $array);
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($det);

I get following error Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [S:Server] java.lang.NullPointerException in D:\xampp\htdocs\sharepoint\connection.php:25 Stack trace:

0 D:\xampp\htdocs\sharepoint\connection.php(25): SoapClient->__call('initiatePayment', Array)

Calling __call directly is deprecated, check my answer, it contains a link to the man page — Elias Van Ootegem

It's an unhandled exception. Try wrapping it in a try/catch block to find out the error. Also __call() is deprecated, you should be using __soapCall().

try{
    $det = $con->__soapCall('initiatePayment', $array);
    print_r($det);
} catch(SoapFault $ex){
    echo $ex->getMessage();
}

I tried it too and it returns 'java.lang.NullPointerException' and I also have tried __soapCall() and also it gives the same error 'java.lang.NullPointerException'

__call isn't deprecated. Calling it directly is deprecated. For regular SOAP calls, the __call method is still being used

Also, read the docs for the __soapCall method (link in my answer): it's meant to be used in rather specific cases (non-wsdl, unknown SOAP action, different uri's etc...)
