Abstract:  SOAP DESERIALIZER ERROR

Description/symptom of problem:  When a response message is receive by a web service client containing a boolean element which is incorrectly emitted to map to soapenc:boolean instead of xsd:boolean, the next request message sent by the client which contains a boolean element will incorrectly contain a soapenc:boolean namespace definition which may cause the receiving web service to fail because the namespace/element combination isn't defined.
