I have written a web service using CXF. The WSDL contains one of the field as
'boolean'. Unfortunately at runtime I found that when "trud", "trua" or
"truee" is passed through that field, it accepts the value as "true". This
should have been a "false" value for a boolean field.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated

By the same argument "fals", "falsee", "fase" should all be considered
as "true" since they are not "false".
Unfortunately, Boolean only has 2 possible values and lacks a way to
signal"wtf?".
You might want to document your web service to warn programmers writing
clients to use booleans properly and warn them that the results will be
indeterminate if they send values other than "true" or "false".
What happens if you send in "dog" or "cat" as the Boolean? What would
you like to happen?
You could use a string instead of a Boolean if you need to handle
non-Boolean input. Then you can parse the input and decide what you want
"truee" or "dog" to mean.
