WebServiceException: Method Parameter: <foo> cannot be null. This is BP 1.1 R2211 violation

Question

Recently I migrated my application from jboss5.1 to Glassfish 3.1.2. Despite other problems I`ve found, now I cannot pass a null parameter to my web method anymore. And it was not a problem in Jboss. What should I do? Is there a flag to allow null parameter through my web melhod. (My application uses icefaces3.0.1 and JSF 2.0; the WS is a EJB project, also in the same server for now) tks

error:

javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Method Parameter: toDate cannot be null. This is BP 1.1 R2211 violation.

Answer 1

The whole thing did get discussed here: https://java.net/jira/browse/JAX_WS-128

JAX-WS 2.0 enforces strict Basic Profile 1.1 compliance. The following are known cases where .NET framework does not enforce strict BP 1.1 semantics and their usage can lead to interoperability problems.

Also at Oracle: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17802_01/webservices/webservices/reference/tutorials/wsit/doc/DataBinding7.html

Not quite sure when but I think I had the same problem when migration from Tomcat 5 to 6
