Description

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at
org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializer.onStartChild(BeanDeserializer.java:304)

The if block doesn't protect against the dSer variable from being null which will cause a NPE when it tries to call dSer.registerValueTarget:

if (!((dSer != null) && (dSer instanceof ArrayDeserializer))) {
collectionIndex++;
dSer.registerValueTarget(new BeanPropertyTarget(value,
propDesc, collectionIndex));

I think the if block should be changed to:

if ( dSer != null && !(dSer instanceof ArrayDeserializer)) {
