Hello !
We are using message-style argument passing with Axis both on the client and the provider. The signature of all the methods is
Element[] method(Element[]), but in one instance we don't need to read any arguments. When we invoke this method with call.invoke((SOAPBodyElement[]) null), Axis refuses to service the call. Apparently, empty bodies are not supported. The stacktrace reads like this :
Exception in thread "main" AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.

Is this a bug or a feature ?
