Yes, you can modify the source for Apache SOAP and use it if you want.

That it how deserializers always work.

That's right. You can do that without modifying the Apache SOAP code.

The supplied BeanSerializer treats the Java class as a bean: it
instantiates it with the default (no argument) constructor, then sets
property values for supplied properties. It will never call a different
constructor. In your case, if there is no Age, then that property value
will never be set. Any property that is supplied, however, must be
writeable, which effectively means it must either be a public field or
have a public mutator (setter) method. In the case above, the Name, Age
and Address properties must be writeable.
