Null pointer exception when startin tomcat using axis 2 web service

Question

I trid to make a simple project to learn how to use web service with axis2. So I trid to do like this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgY0pLadraE But When I start my tomcat server, I had this error :

java.lang.NullPointerException

Then when I create my web service and run my project in the server, I get the first page where I have three links (services, validate and administration). When I click the services link I got this error :

How can I fix this? It's the first time for me to make a web service

No, I think it's problem with tomcat configuration but I don't know how to fix it — Wael, Feb 15 '17 at 18:33
