Error while running web service on blackberry simulator

Question

I am trying to access a webservice from a BlackBerry application that I developed.

However, when running the app I get

" App Error 104 Uncaught: NullPointerException "

I am unable to debug, for some strange reason my debugger auto-closes as soon as I start debugging.

Any suggestions on what could be the reason? I would like to mention that I have received the three .csi signature files from BlackBerry, but whenever I try to sign the application it fails: The Signature information in the code signing register request is not of appropriate length. Could this error be due to signing the application?

This is what I've done so far:
