Description

Hi guys,
I'm having problems using inner classes, if having a simple EchoService with an inner class like this:

public class EchoService
public MyInnerClass retMyInnerClass(MyInnerClass input)

{ return input; }

public class MyInnerClass {
private String name;

public MyInnerClass() { }

public void setName(String name)

{ this.name = name; }

public String getName()

{ return this.name; }

};
}

I am able to deploy it and invoke it with a generated ADB client, however, when the service receives the XML request and tries to create
an instance of the inner class an exception gets thrown inside the DefaultObjectSupplier:

Caused by: java.lang.InstantiationException: org.tempuri.test.EchoService$MyInnerClass
at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:335)
at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:303)
at org.apache.axis2.engine.DefaultObjectSupplier.getObject(DefaultObjectSupplier.java:28)
... 28 more

The issue has been reported before, see AXIS2-2691, however it seems that the DefaultObjectSupplier patch provided there was never applied.
Annogen changes were also required but since now (in the nightly build) Axis2 does not use annogen anymore, I think only the DefaultObjectSupplier patch is relevant.
