Inheritence/namespace issue using ClientProxyFactoryBean calling a XFire WS

[Kjartan Aanestad <kj...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using cxf (2.0.3-incubator) ClientProxyFactoryBean to call a XFire  
Web Service. The Web Service returns a PrivateCustomer:

package common.framework;

public abstract class Data implements Serializable {
	protected boolean status;

	<getters and setters)

}


package com.test.services.domain;

public abstract class Customer extends Data {
	private Long customerNumber;

	<getters and setters)

}

package com.test.services.domain;

public class PrivateCustomer extends Customer {
	private String socialSecurityNumber;

	<getters and setters)

}

I have added the properties "writeXsiType" and "overrideTypesList" in  
the services.xml file and the wsdl seems right. The problem is that  
the Data class exist in another package and has another namespace than  
Customer and PrivateCustomer. When I try to call the Web Service I get  
the following exception:

Caused by: org.apache.cxf.aegis.DatabindingException: Couldn't set  
property {http://framework.common}status on  
<com.test.services.domain.PrivateCustomerDO>
   <status>false</status>
   <customerNumber>5</customerNumber>
   <socialSecurityNumber>x</socialSecurityNumber>
</com.test.services.domain.PrivateCustomerDO>. null. Nested exception  
is java.lang.NullPointerException: null

When I debug I see that cxf/aegis expects "status" to be in the same  
namespace as "Customer" and "PrivateCustomer", "http://domain.services.test.com 
".. Anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to create a  
custom mapping to handle it?
