> Under normal circumstances, a JAX-WS web service application uses JAXB 
> classes to represent the method and parameter data    
> for document/literal operations.  However, very simple web service 
> applications may not contain JAXB classes.              
>                                                                 
> For example, a JAX-WS document/literal method that only has  Java primitive 
> parameters might be developed without JAXB classes.                           
>                              
>                                                                 
> Another example is a benchmark application.  A benchmark application that is 
> developed by other vendors and might not contain JAXB classes                 
>                            
>                                                                 
> If JAXB classes are not present, the JAX-WS runtime will perform correctly in 
> most cases.                                
>                                                                 
> When the following conditions are met, the JAX-WS runtime will fail with a 
> NullPointerException error:                         
>    * The JAX-WS web service has a style/use defined as document/literal.      
>                                          
>    * The JAX-WS web service is defined as or defaults to the wrapped mapping. 
>                                                
>    * The JAX-WS web service does not contain JAXB classes.      
>    * The JAX-WS web service receives a message that indicates that one of the 
> parameters to the JAX-WS operation is null or missing.                        
>

> The NullPointerException will occur when the JAX-WS runtime     
> receives the incoming message.  Here is an example error:

> org.apache.axis2.jaxws.marshaller.impl.alt.DocLitWrappedMinimalMethodMarshaller.demarshalRequest(DocLitWrappedMinimalMethodMarshaller.java:221)
> Solution:
> In the scenario described above, the JAX-WS unmarshalling engine uses an 
> algorithm called "document literal wrapped minimal" unmarshalling.  
> The algorithm currently does not have the ability to recognize missing 
> elements/parameters.  
> The algorithm will be upgraded to handle this scenario.
> In addition, other clases in the JAX-WS runtime were changed to provide the 
> necessary information to detect the missing parameters.
> This solution has been tested and will be committed shortly.  All of the code 
> is in the JAXWS runtime.
