BasicDeserializer and xsi:nil

[Stig Hagen Dommarsnes <st...@machina.no>]

Guys,

I just stumbled across something that looks like a bug in 
org.apache.axis.encoding.BasicDeserializer.onEndElement() - the line

value = makeValue(val.toString());

doesn't check for Deserializer.isNil (set on xsi:nil). As far as I can 
tell, this check doesn't happen anywhere else either, so 
DateSerializer.DeSer (which extends BasicDeserializer) gets passed an 
empty String even if xsi:nil is set.

Replacing the line with

if (isNil)
     value = null;
else
     value = makeValue(val.toString());

fixes the problem for me (and theoretically for all children of 
BasicDeserializer), and functional-tests runs successfully with the patch.
