Null pointer while handling empty SOAP Body [SWS-164]

[gregturn]

Arjen Poutsma opened SWS-164 and commented

I get a NullPointer exception when I issue a web service request with an empty input message. This results in an empty soap body which is totally legal (and works with other webservice frameworks)

With Spring-WS I get a NullPointerException. This is caused by the fact that a null object is sent to the transformer. IMO a check should be build in that does no transformation when there is an empty payload.

I know that I can get around this by implementing the MessageEndpoint interface but then I loose the transformation functionality e.d. I guess sending an empty message is normal functionality

Anyway, there is a workaround but it is a bit annoying
