OK, back to the drawing board on this one :( A quick google on this question suggests that, notwithstanding some confusion, an empty SOAP body is actually kosher in certain circumstances ... see for example [1].
So off the top of my head, I think we'd have to do something like the following to make the partial/full response distinction more bullet-proof: 1. Stop sending the wsa:RelatesTo in the partial response (this is potentially misleading in any case) 2. Set something like a Message.IS_RESPONSE property to false in the WS-A layer if the wsa:RelatesTo header is not present 3. Replace the ClientImpl.isPartialResponse() logic with Boolean.FALSE.equals(inMessage.get(Message.IS_RESPONSE)) Checking via Boolean.FALSE.equals() would ensure that the ClientImpl logic would be valid even if WS-A layer was absent (in which case the IS_RESPONSE property would be null, but we can assume that a partial response would never be received, as this may only occur if WS-A headers were present in the corresponding request).
