I investigated the problem, it appears in the following method:
public Document getDescription(String serviceName, String endpointName)
throws EndpointRegistryServiceErrorException
This method is located in EndpointRegistryClient class of petals-jmx
The following line returned the stacktrace by performing the action with
service name = {http://wsdls.datastream.net/MP0302_GetAssetEquipment_001}AD009-GetAssetEquipmentService
endpoint name = edpt-8CCE22D14897EECDFF54534999866461=
document = (Document) this.performAction(GET_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTION, objects, strings);
The document that attempts to be recovered corresponds to the following service unit : su-SOAP-AD009-GetAssetEquipmentService-provide-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
I tested by removing the service assembly (sa-AD009-RecupVersionPointInterventionSigma-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-07-27-2010-043849102) which contains this service unit and it works correctly.
Fixed by letting getDescription return a raw String instead of a DOM document.
(See attached kernel patch).
