string[] - empty values: previous string is returned instead of an empty string

           Summary: string[] - empty values: previous string is returned
                    instead of an empty string
           Product: Axis-C++
           Version: 1.0 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Serialization/Deserialization
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: roland.kosovsky@abacus.ch


When an array of strings is serialized and deserialized empty values get the
value of the previous string.

SOAPArrayStruct* pInput = new SOAPArrayStruct;
pInput->varArray.m_Size = 4;
pInput->varArray.m_Array = new string[4];
pInput->varArray.m_Array[0] = "1";
pInput->varArray.m_Array[1] = "2";
pInput->varArray.m_Array[2] = "";  // empty value
pInput->varArray.m_Array[3] = "4";

the web service gets: "1,2,2,4" instead "1,2,,4" 

reason: XMLStreamHandler::characters gets never called. Therefore the value is
never set.

my suggestion:
XMLStreamHandler.cpp, Ln 114 (XMLStreamHandler::startElement):  
    m_Param.SetEmpty();  // insert this
Param.h, Ln 123 (class Param):
    void SetEmpty() { m_sValue.erase(); }  // insert this
