Odd behavior using SignedSOAPEnvelope (empty namespaces inserted)

["SECRIST,MARK S (HP-FtCollins,ex1)" <ma...@hp.com>]

I seem to have a problem with the getSOAPEnvelopeAsDocument method of the
SignedSOAPEnvelop sample class associated with the Axis samples.  I've built
a document style web service in which I want to simply sign the body and
send it on.  Using the ClientSigningHandler and the SignedSOAPEnvelope
classes were very helpful.  I notices after moving to versions of Axis 1.1
that this now breaks my document being sent.  I start with a simple document
as follows:
 
 <soapenv:Body>
  <QuoteRequest xmlns="uri:supplier.daredevil.atc.hp.com">
   <DocumentInfo Date="05/19/2003"/>
   <CustomerDetails ContactEmail="buyer@hp.com" Name="Hewlett-Packard"
Id="12345-56789"/>
   <PartList>
    <PartItem QuotedPrice="0.0" SupplierPartSKU="SKU-1" PartDescription="1.7
Ghz CPU Box, 80GB HD" Quantity="5"/>
    <PartItem QuotedPrice="0.0" SupplierPartSKU="SKU-2" PartDescription="17
inch Monitor" Quantity="5"/>
    <PartItem QuotedPrice="0.0" SupplierPartSKU="SKU-3"
PartDescription="Really Fancy Printer" Quantity="5"/>
   </PartList>
  </QuoteRequest>
 </soapenv:Body>

When passed through the getSOAPEnvelopeAsDocument method, I get empty
namespaces in many of my subordinate elements as follows:

 <soapenv:Body>
  <QuoteRequest xsi:type="ns1:QuoteRequestType"
xmlns="uri:supplier.daredevil.atc.hp.com"
xmlns:ns1="uri:supplier.daredevil.atc.hp.com">
   <DocumentInfo Date="05/19/2003" xsi:type="ns1:DocumentInfoType"
xmlns=""/>
   <CustomerDetails ContactEmail="buyer@hp.com" Id="12345-56789"
Name="Hewlett-Packard" xsi:type="ns1:OwnerDetails" xmlns=""/>
   <PartList xsi:type="ns1:PartListType" xmlns="">
    <PartItem PartDescription="1.7 Ghz CPU Box, 80GB HD" Quantity="5"
QuotedPrice="0.0" SupplierPartSKU="SKU-1" xsi:type="ns1:PartItemType"/>
    <PartItem PartDescription="17 inch Monitor" Quantity="5"
QuotedPrice="0.0" SupplierPartSKU="SKU-2" xsi:type="ns1:PartItemType"/>
    <PartItem PartDescription="Really Fancy Printer" Quantity="5"
QuotedPrice="0.0" SupplierPartSKU="SKU-3" xsi:type="ns1:PartItemType"/>
   </PartList>
  </QuoteRequest>
 </soapenv:Body>

Does anyone have ideas as to what causes this and what I can do to eliminate
the problem?

I've also noticed that when I generate the server deployment from a static
WSDL and then try to generate a client from the deployed dynamic WSDL file
that I have the same problem.  Is this in fact an Axis problem or am I not
being specific enough in the WSDL schema definition?

Thanks,

Mark
