Why sendNull parameter of the method SerializationContextImpl.ser ialize is hard code set to true ?

[EXT / FOCAL VALENTIN Jean-Philippe <ex...@sncf.fr>]

Hi,

I would like to access to the Microsoft Web Service SQL Reporting Services
but my problem was that the soap message sent to the web service included
parameters with xsi:nil="true" that are not recognized by Microsoft. In C#,
parameters are not send if the value is null.

I had to force the sendNull parameter to false in the class
SerializationContextImpl (method serialize).

Why is not possible to have a configuration file to precise this ? Perhaps
in the client-config.wsdd file ?
If we can modify this comportment , How can I do ?

I am using Axis 1.1.

The method concerned is :

	
org.apache.axis.encoding.SerializationContextImpl.serialize(QName elemQName,
		                          Attributes attributes,
		                          Object value,
		                          QName xmlType,
		                          boolean sendNull,
		                          Boolean sendType)

The soap message before was :

		<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
		<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> "

		 <soapenv:Body>
		  <Render

vices
<http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2003/12/reporting/reportingservices>
">
		   <Report>/TestReportJPV/Resultats</Report>
		   <Format>PDF</Format>
		   <HistoryID xsi:nil="true"/>
		   <DeviceInfo xsi:nil="true"/>
		   <Parameters xsi:nil="true"/>
		   <Credentials xsi:nil="true"/>
		   <ShowHideToggle xsi:nil="true"/>
		  </Render>
		 </soapenv:Body>
		</soapenv:Envelope>

The soap message after was :

		<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
		<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> "

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance> ">
		 <soapenv:Body>
		  <Render

		 </soapenv:Body>
		</soapenv:Envelope>
