While trying out the scenario which I have explained in my previous post Accessing a non secured backend from a secured client with the help of WSO2 ESB, with security scenario 3 onward, you might have come across an issue as below on client side.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at SecurityClient.main(SecurityClient.java:38)
The reason for this is that the Bouncycastle jar required to run this scenario, is not found in the class path at the client side.
To overcome this issue, you need to place the relevant bouncycastle jar downloaded from the www.bouncycastle.org.
E.g.:- If you are running your client on JDK1.7, then the jar you need to download is bcprov-jdk15on-150.jar.
A point to note : I tried this scenario pointing the $ESB_HOME/repository/plugins folder to the Eclipse project and pointed to a bouncycastle jar which was at a different location. For some reason, it did not load the jar until I dropped it inside the $ESB_HOME/repository/plugins folder.
NOTE: Sometimes, you will have to clear the Eclipse/IntelliJ Idea cache in order for the classes to pick up the jars properly.
