• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_WSP555 - No exception handling possible for type "&2"; object not instantiated ?

  The SAP error message SRT_WSP555 indicates that there is an issue with exception handling in a web service scenario. Specifically, the message states that no exception handling is possible for a certain type (denoted by &2), and that the object has not been instantiated. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's web service runtime environment, particularly when dealing with web service proxies or service interfaces.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Uninitialized Object: The object that is supposed to handle exceptions has not been instantiated. This means that the system is trying to call a method on a null reference.
  Incorrect Configuration: The web service or the service interface may not be correctly configured, leading to issues in handling exceptions.
  Missing Exception Class: The exception class that is supposed to handle the specific type of error may not be defined or is not accessible in the current context.
  Code Issues: There may be issues in the ABAP code where the web service is implemented, such as missing error handling logic.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Instantiation:
  
  Ensure that the object that is supposed to handle exceptions is properly instantiated before it is used. Look for the relevant code where the object is created and ensure it is not null.
  
  
  
  Review Web Service Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the web service in transaction SOAMANAGER. Ensure that the service interface and the binding are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Define Exception Classes:
  
  If the error type indicated by &2 corresponds to a specific exception class, ensure that this class is defined in the system. You can create a custom exception class if necessary.
  
  
  
  Implement Error Handling Logic:
  
  Review the ABAP code for the web service implementation. Ensure that there is appropriate error handling logic in place to catch and manage exceptions.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the object is not being instantiated or where the exception handling is failing.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as there may be fixes related to this issue.
