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)) {
