-------------------------------------

Hi [~ShankaraG],

as specified in [2.2.6.3.4 Complex Type|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd541326.aspx] a ComplexType

{quote}
An instance of a ComplexType MUST be represented as a Verbose JSON object
{quote}

So {{NULL}} is not allowed.

Best Regards, Michael

> Hi,
> When passed null value (in JSON payload) or empty tag (in XML payload) for the value of a Complex Type the call to the post fails throwing null pointer exception in setComplexProperty method for the variable propertyValue. Can we add a null check here so that the  call doesn't fail.
> Please refer to the patch attached.
> Example: JSON Payload
> ...
> ComplexType: null,
> ....
> XML Payload
> ...
> <ComplexType />
> ...
> Thanks & Regards
