[esb-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBESB-3950) SOAPClient generates empty objects for not-required fields

SOAPClient generates empty objects for not-required fields ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBESB-3950 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBESB-3950 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web Services Affects Versions: 4.11 CP3 Reporter: Tom Cunningham Assignee: Tom Cunningham Fix For: 4.11 CP3 From Musharraf Hussein : I have a case [1] where customer is having a problem with the way "SOAPClient" generates SOAP messages to invoke the backend WebServices. Actually it is observed that if a complex type of message (element in SOAP message) contains a 'null' then 'SOAPClient' sends an empty element (as well as an empty child element). According to the customer this shouldn't happen and ESB should rather omit the entire parent-child elements altogether, as it is causing them an NPE in their code. This is how executing their test case (attached) look like.
