Performance Problems in Java Applications due to Serialization of many Items with xs:nil value of true

Java applications may take a long time to run due to the serialization of a large number of items that have the xs:nil attribute value of true.

To solve this issue in applications that use Axis 1.4, add the following code (for each service used) to the application:

AxisEngine e = <sdkServiceLocator>.getEngine(); 
e.setOption(AxisEngine.PROP_SEND_NIL, Boolean.FALSE); 

To disable suppression of null values, change the setOption setting from Boolean.FALSE to Boolean.TRUE.

An example of the code to suppress elements in contentManagerService requests is shown here.

import org.apache.axis.AxisEngine; 
... 
private ContentManagerService_ServiceLocator cmServiceLocator = null; 
private ContentManagerService_PortType cmService = null; 
cmServiceLocator = new ContentManagerService_ServiceLocator(); 
cmService = cmServiceLocator.getcontentManagerService(serverURL); 
... 
cmServiceLocator = new ContentManagerService_ServiceLocator(); 
cmService = cmServiceLocator.getcontentManagerService(serverURL); 
... 
AxisEngine e = cmServiceLocator.getEngine(); 
e.setOption(AxisEngine.PROP_SEND_NIL, Boolean.FALSE); 

With this modification, SOAP elements like the following will be suppressed:

<dataEncoding xsi:type="ns5:encodingEnum" xsi:nil="true"/>
