I have the following definition in the WSDL:

        <xsd:element name="foo">
         <xsd:complexType>
           <xsd:complexContent mixed="true">
             <xsd:restriction base="xsd:anyType">
               <xsd:sequence>
                 <xsd:any processContents="lax" 
                          minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
               </xsd:sequence>
             </xsd:restriction>
           </xsd:complexContent>
         </xsd:complexType>
     </xsd:element>

WSDL2Java generated the following entry for the definition in the Stub:

qName = new javax.xml.namespace.QName("bar", ">foo");
cachedSerQNames.add(qName);
cls = java.lang.Object.class;
cachedSerClasses.add(cls);
cachedSerFactories.add(null);
cachedDeserFactories.add(simpledf);

And then using the Stub caused the exception in the createCall() function.

A simple check for factory == null solves the problem.
