return types of void

We have a WSDL file which defines a method that has a void return type, so the WSDL snippet looks like:

   <message name='messageName'>
      <part name='return' />
   </message>

This is where we're getting a NullPointerException when generating the server-side code (see stacktrace below):

[apply] java.lang.NullPointerException
[apply]     at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.Utils.holder(Utils.java:494)
[apply]     at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaWriterFactory.constructSignature(JavaWriterFactory.java:512)
[apply]     at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaWriterFactory.constructSignatures(JavaWriterFactory.java:478)
[apply]     at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.JavaWriterFactory.writerPass(JavaWriterFactory.java:106)
[apply]     at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.Emitter.emit(Emitter.java:189)
[apply]     at org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJava.Emitter.emit(Emitter.java:155)
[apply]     at org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java$WSDLRunnable.run(WSDL2Java.java:725)
[apply]     at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)
[apply] Result: 1

We're thinking that the NullPointerException is being thrown because there is no 'type' attribute for the <part>
So the question is - what should we set the type attribute of the part tag when the return type is void?

Thanks.
