[xfire-user] Xfire generates invalid messages (xsi:nil="true")

[Ivo van Dongen]

Hi,

We use Xfire on our server and client side, but we ran into a problem 
after turning validation on. We have an operation witch takes the 
folloing element as a payload:

       <xs:element name="getUserProfileRequest">
           <xs:complexType>
               <xs:sequence>
                   <xs:element name="userId" type="xs:string"
   minOccurs="0">
                       <xs:annotation>
                           <xs:documentation>You'll only have to
   specify a userId if you want to read  somebody else's profile
   (assuming you have the authorization to do this)</xs:documentation>
                       </xs:annotation>
                   </xs:element>
               </xs:sequence>
           </xs:complexType>
       </xs:element>

The message that is generated on the client side:

   <ns2:getUserProfileRequest
   xmlns:ns2="http://tesis.nl/webservices/types";>
     <userId xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
   xsi:nil="true" />
   </ns2:getUserProfileRequest>

This leads to the following error message when validating:

   Exception in startElement: cvc-elt.3.1: Attribute
   'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance,nil' must not appear on
   element 'userId', because the {nillable} property of 'userId' is false.

Is this expected behaviour? And if so is there a way to control this?

Thanks in advance,
Ivo van Dongen
