NullPointerException while retrieving Port for Apache CXF web service client over https

Question

I have a web service that I am calling using a client generated using the wsdl2java tool from Apache CXF. Everything was working well until we moved the web service behind https. Now I'm getting a NullPointerException when I try to get the Port.

I'm pretty sure that it's not a problem with the server's certificate since I can get the WSDL for the web service.

Specs: Apache CXF 2.7.6 Glassfish 3.1.2.2

Here is my client code:

public final static QName BasicHttpEndpoint2 = new QName("http://tempuri.org/", "BasicHttpEndpoint2");

@WebEndpoint(name = "BasicHttpsEndpoint")
public IAppts getBasicHttpsEndpoint()
{
    return super.getPort(BasicHttpsEndpoint, IAppts.class);
}

And here is part StackTrace I'm getting:

This is not using CXF at runtime. The JAX-WS implementation built into Glassfish (Metro) is being picked up and used.
