I've seen numerous posts about this on the list. The FAQ at
http://xml.apache.org/soap/faq/faq_chawke.html#Q1_1 says that it's Xerces problem, but
after I tried many different parsers/versions none of them seem to help. So I traced
the problem and yes, it has nothing to do with the parser I was using!
To fix the problem in version 2.3.1 open org.apache.soap.Fault.java, go to line 316
and add these lines:
if( null != namespaceURI && namespaceURI.length() == 0 ) {
namespaceURI = null;
}
They go right before the line
if (namespaceURI == null || namespaceURI.equals(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENV)) {
which is the problem as it checks namespaceURI for null, but not for empty string.
After this I tried different versions of Xerces, Crimson and Weblogic's parser and
they all worked fine.
