>      Project: Apache Axis
>         Type: Bug

> I see Axis client wrong behavior on serializing a message built from schema with xsd:choice.
> I have XML schema with <xsd:choice>:
> <xsd:complexType name="getSubscriberRequest">
>   <xsd:choice minOccurs="0">
>     <xsd:element name="customerID" type="cc:customer"/>
>     <xsd:element name="phoneNumber" type="cc:serviceDetails"/>
>     <xsd:element name="status" type="cc:serviceStatusEnum"/>
>     <xsd:element name="phoneType" type="cc:phoneTypeEnum"/>
>   </xsd:choice>
> </xsd:complexType>
> (The business logic idea is to request some data according to one and only one parameter (i.e. status, phoneNumber, etc.)).
> In the client code, I do the following:
> GetSubscriberRequest req = new GetSubscriberRequest();		
> req.setPhoneNumber(new ServiceDetails("9412345678"));		
> GetSubscriberResponse res = stub.getSubscriber(req);
> The XML message over the wire is:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
>  <soapenv:Body>
>   <getSubscriberRequest xmlns="http://www.xxx.com/yyy">
>    <customerID xsi:nil="true"/>
>    <phoneNumber>941234567</phoneNumber>
>    <status xsi:nil="true"/>
>    <phoneType xsi:nil="true"/>
>   </getSubscriberRequest>
>  </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> I am using Castor at the server side, and it fails on validation:
> ValidationException: The element 'phoneNumber' cannot exist at the same time that element 'customerID' also exists.;
>    - location of error: XPATH: getSubscriberRequest
> Castor behavior seems ok to me, since xsd:choice by definition should allow ONLY ONE ELEMENT of its subelements.
> The wrong behavior, for my opinion, is in Axis. It produces elements with xsi:nil="true" (in xsd:choice) instead of not generating them at all.
> Looking at the source code, I see that org.apache.axis.encoding.SerializationContext.serialize() (line 115) get 6 parameters. The one before the last one is "sendNull". If it is false, the Axis behavior would be perfect for my situation!
> The problem is the all the built-it serializers (i.e. BeanSerializer, line 238) sends hard-coded "true" for this parameter, hence force Axis to generate an empty element with xsi:nil="true", that is invalid and cause Castor validation to fail.
> For my opinion, there should be a configurable parameter the controls the behavior of "sendNull" parameter in SerializationContext. 
> I think that on xsd:choice, the default behavior must be to ommit the null elements at all!
