Description

Axiom 1.2.13 introduced a bug where elements like this <element xmlns=""> return null for the namespace and fail
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-441

This is fixed in Axiom 1.2.14, but this broke any service call to Axis2 1.6.2 that calls with elements like that.

I dropped in the Axis2-axiom jars (1.2.12) from 1.6.1, and the calls started working.

This occurred when using .net wsdl.exe to make calls to a service where the schema states elementFormDefault="unqualified"
