When a BusinessEntity which doesn't define any BusinessService objects is saved to jUDDI then a NullPointerException will be thrown on an attempt to view the business entity properties in jUDDI console. The following exception is present in server log:

I've used the following code to add the business entity to jUDDI registry:

        private static UDDISecurityPortType security;

        // some left out code ...

        public void addBusinessEntity() throws Exception {
                UDDIPublicationPortType pubPort = (UDDIPublicationPortType) testServices.lookup("juddiv3/UDDIPublicationService"); 
                assert(pubPort != null);
		
                Name name = new Name();
                name.setValue("Special Node");
		
                BusinessEntity businessEntity = new BusinessEntity();
                businessEntity.setBusinessKey("uddi:juddi.apache.org:special");
                businessEntity.getName().add(name);
                /* if BusinessServices is not added NullPointerException will be thrown on an attempt in console to view the business.
                BusinessServices must contain at least one BusinessService */
                //businessEntity.setBusinessServices(someBusinessServices);
		
                SaveBusiness saveBusiness = new SaveBusiness();
                saveBusiness.setAuthInfo(getAuthInfo());
                saveBusiness.getBusinessEntity().add(businessEntity);
                
                pubPort.saveBusiness(saveBusiness);
        }
       
         private static String getAuthInfo() throws Exception {
                GetAuthToken getAuthToken = new GetAuthToken();
                getAuthToken.setUserID("root");
                getAuthToken.setCred("");
                
                AuthToken authToken = security.getAuthToken(getAuthToken);
                
                return authToken.getAuthInfo();
        }
