Unnecessary WebServiceException if parameter is null
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-2309
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2309
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Davanum Srinivas


Around line 280 in 
src/org/apache/axis2/jaxws/marshaller/impl/alt/DocLitBareMethodMarshaller.java, 
there is a check for null value and a WebServiceException is thrown. There is a 
comment just before this code that says the following.

=====================================================================================
             // TODO This needs more work.  We need to check inside holders of 
input params.  We also
             // may want to exclude header params from this check
             //Validate input parameters for operation and make sure no input 
parameters are null.
            //As per JAXWS Specification section 3.6.2.3 if a null value is 
passes as an argument
            //to a method then an implementation MUST throw WebServiceException.
=====================================================================================


*BUT* this is not correct reading of the jaxws 2.0 spec (Page 39) says the 
following:

=====================================================================================
Due to the limitations described in section 5.3.1 of theWS-I Basic Profile 
specification (see [8]), null values
cannot be used as method arguments or as the return value from a method which 
uses the rpc/literal binding.
} 

Conformance (Null Values in rpc/literal): If a null value is passed as an 
argument to amethod, or returned
from amethod, that uses the rpc/literal style, then an implementation MUST 
throw a WebServiceException.
=====================================================================================

So the WebServiceException for null parameters is not applicable to 
doc/lit/bare. it's required only for rpc/lit.

thanks,
dims
