Hello ! I also tried to return the same array (with nulls) form the method and axis made the following SOAP response:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> <soapenv:Header /> <soapenv:Body> <ns:testStringArrayWithNullsResponse xmlns:ns="http://org.apache.axis2/xsd";> <return> </return> <return>str</return> <return> </return> <return>str</return> <return> </return> </ns:testStringArrayWithNullsResponse> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> This response actually sends empty strings (and .NET client shows them). Is it possible to make axis sends something like this: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <soapenv:Header /> <soapenv:Body> <ns:testStringArrayWithNullsResponse xmlns:ns="http://org.apache.axis2/xsd";> <return xsi:nil="true"/> <return>ssttrriinngg</return> <return xsi:nil="true"/> <return>ssttrriinngg</return> <return xsi:nil="true"/> </ns:testStringArrayWithNullsResponse> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> I appreciate any help on this, thanks.
