I am getting a NullPointerException whenever a service with RM support throws a fault.

The issue seems to to be rooted in the fact that the RMInvocationHandler does not set the RMConstant.RESPONSE_CONTEXT until after the invocation. See below the code from RMInvocationHandler.

if (inv.getJavaMethod() != null)

{ logger.debug("Invoking method: " + inv.getJavaMethod().getName()); //app fault thrown within, handlerchain handleFault called, no RM ResponseContext for the RMServerHandler to use, end //up with NPE this.delegate.invoke(ep, inv); }

else

{ logger.debug("RM lifecycle protocol method detected"); }

setupResponseContext(rmResponseContext); //where the rmresponsecontext is set.

Here's the stacktrace for the application fault.
