Error description
When a client attempts to invoke a SOAP method which returns a
complex type (for example, JavaBean), and WebSphere attempts to
serialize the complex return type as part of the output of a
SOAP call, this error occurs:

serialize a ''org.apache.soap.rpc.Parameter'' using encoding
style ''null''.
