#635 NullPointerException when using SAML 2 assertion

[Anonymous]

When configured to use a valid SAML 2 assertion using the "SAML (XML)" method, SoapUI throws a NullPointerException when applying the security configuration to the request. After browsing the SoapUI forums a bit I ran across a thread on the issue (http://www.eviware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14823).

Per the recommendation of the thread, I downloaded the latest version of WSS4J (1.6.7) and copied the wss4j and xmlsec libraries into SoapUI's lib directory and edited the soapui.sh to launch them and now everything works correctly.

Below is the stack trace I was receiving:
