My problem is that when sending request from Java generated code via SOAP UI (JAX-WS client), the null params are included in SOAP generated request.

I'm generating soap client from a third party WSDL, so don't have any control over WSDL modification.

Message from Java Generated Client, do not have param which have null values. I have to have empty elements, which are <authId> & <reserved>

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <S:Body>
        <BillPayment xmlns="http://action.one.worldnet.org">
        <userName>test</userName>
        <password>testing2</password>
        <AccountNumber>10385699</AccountNumber>
        <amount>0000000002300</amount>
        <tranDate>20130311</tranDate>
        <tranTime>064536</tranTime>
        <bankMnemonic>TIMEPAY</bankMnemonic>
        </BillPayment>
    </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

Message from SOAPUI, which have elements whose values are null.

<soap:Body>
    <soap:Envelope>"
      <act:BillPayment>
         <act:userName>test</act:userName>
         <act:password>testing2</act:password>
         <act:AccountNumber>9132388</act:AccountNumber>
         <act:authId></act:authId>
         <act:amount>0000000010000</act:amount>
         <act:tranDate>20130311</act:tranDate>
         <act:tranTime>172345</act:tranTime>
         <act:bankMnemonic>THIRDParty</act:bankMnemonic>
         <act:reserved></act:reserved>
      </act:BillPayment>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>"

Following is my generated BillPayment class

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)

@XmlType(name = "", propOrder = { "userName", "password", "accountNumber", "authId", "amount", "tranDate", "tranTime", "bankMnemonic", "reserved" }) @XmlRootElement(name = "BillPayment") public class BillPayment {

Looking for expert advice. Thanks in advance.

You did not post your WSDL. What I suspect is that your <authId> has minOccurs=0 in the schema definition. I am not sure if you are doing top-down or bottom-up design. If you are using top-down, you can simply add minOccurs=1 in the WSDL schema definition section. If you are using bottom-up design approach, you can use the below annotation in the web service code

@XmlElement(nillable=true, required=true)
String authId;

Please note that this annotation requires metro 2.0 (JAXB 2.2) or later.

Edit based on comments:

If you can upgrade to JDK 7, it should contain the JAX-WS 2.2. However, if you cannot upgrade the whole JDK for any reason, you can follow the instruction here to use a feature called Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism by just upgrading the jaxws-api.jar and jaxb-api.jar files.
