Description

I'm facing the same issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4036 in 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT.
To be backward compatible axis2 adb need to use toPlainString() method provided by BigDecimal API.

I have attached a patch with a test case to solve in adb.

But what I more concerned is, whether axis2 need to handle serialization and de-serialization of BigDecimals in a configurable manner. Suppose, a java-adb-client need to manage his input and out data in scientific notation (in that case E-3 => 0.000), but axis2-adb always send 0.000. I feel, there should be a configurable way s.t. a client can choose to BigDecimal input/outputs in scientific notation or plain text notation.
