No, that code was not the problem code- that was just a serializer he wrote. THe point is that the string serializer (cleanSer in SOAPMappingRegistry) is not invoked directly; its invoked via ParameterSerializer which handles the null.
I'd still like to see what Apache SOAP 2.2 client code he wrote that caused the null strings to break.
