there seems to be a problem with ElementDeserializer.onEndElement. i have run 
into it while trying out IBM's wsdk, specifically one of their sample apps. i 
can provide details if necessary.

the response was as follows:

    </phoneNumber>
   </getAddressFromNameResult>
  </ns1:getAddressFromNameResponse>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

and what came out of the ElementDeserializer was this:
<streetNum xsi:type="xsd:int">111</streetNum>

seems to be caused by this chunk of code:
ArrayList children = msgElem.getChildren();
                if ( children != null ) {                    
                        msgElem = (MessageElement) children.get(0);
                        if ( msgElem != null ) {
                            value = msgElem.getAsDOM();      
                        }
                    }
                }

notice how only the first child is considered.

a potential fix, which worked ok for my case is to replace this code with the 
following:
ArrayList children = msgElem.getChildren();
                if ( children != null ) {
                    if (children.size() > 1) {
                        value = msgElem.getAsDOM();
                    }
                    else {                    
                        msgElem = (MessageElement) children.get(0);
                        if ( msgElem != null ) {
                            value = msgElem.getAsDOM();      
                        }
                    }
                }
