Cause:
This is a defect of the RAD debugger referred as BJMS-815, which applies to IN-ONLY MEP service with JMS binding.

NullPointerException seen in a RAD console while debugging an IN-ONLY MEP service with JMS binding.

The defect BJMS-815 is already fixed in TIBCO ActiveMatrix 3.2 and later versions. For TIBCO ActiveMatrix 3.1.x users, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of the applicable product. 

A workaround is also available. Use “Run Configuration” instead of “Debug Configuration”.

1). Click “Run-->Run Configuration”, create a new Run Configuration.
