I'm not sure what Martin meant in his reply. This sounds like it's an ADB-specific problem. Assuming the schema is along these lines:

 <xs:element name="wrapper" nillable="true">
   <xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element name="item" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>

the expected handling would be to generate <wrapper xsi:nil="true"/> when the array is null. If ADB is not doing this it should be considered a bug. Likewise on input, if the XML contains <wrapper xsi:nil="true"/> the unmarshalled array should be set to null. I believe JiBX handles this case as expected.

Subject: [Axis2] Null array
Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 11:34:58 -0700

I have a nillable object array in my schema. If I set this to NULL in my service code, the client is getting an array with size 1, and the element at index 0 is NULL. Is this the expected behavior? Shouldn’t the array itself be set to NULL?
