minOccurs="0"/maxOccurs="1")

                 Key: AXIS2-3353
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3353
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: codegen
    Affects Versions: 1.3
            Reporter: Mauro Molinari
            Priority: Critical


As of now, Axis2 WSDL2Java uses some weird convetion about "null".
I mean, when an element in a WSDL is marked as nillable="true" or 
minOccurs="0"/maxOccurs="1", the generated Java code still uses primitives 
types such as int, double, short, long, float, boolean.
Because of this, I personally experienced (and also read about here in JIRA), 
Axis2 uses the following questionable convention to handle null values:
int, short, long => Integer.MIN_VALUE, Short.MIN_VALUE, Long. MIN_VALUE
float, double => Float.NaN, Double.NaN
boolean => false

Actually, these values are NOT null.

I think Axis2 should map optional elements of type xsd:int, xsd:double, 
xsd:float, xsd:short, xsd:long, xsd:boolean to, respectively: Integer, Double, 
Float, Short, Long, Boolean and assign null to them when they are specified as 
nil or when they are not specified in the SOAP message.

If I understood it well, Axis1 did this, didn't it?

At least, I think Axis2 should give an option to enable this and, IMHO, I also 
think it should be on by default...
