DCA-40000: internal error when calling a web service

Question

Hello,
I would like to call a web service in Oracle UCM with basic authentication (CheckInUniversal). In JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 I can specify username and password for the WS at design time and the JSPX runs fine.
Now I have added some piece of code into a managed bean (CheckInBean) to use a specific username and password at runtime. When I run the page I get a DCA-40000 with the following error stack:
<Utils><buildFacesMessage> ADF: Adding the following JSF error message: The Web Service call failed due to an internal error.
oracle.adf.model.adapter.AdapterException: DCA-40000: The Web Service call failed due to an internal error.

With debugger I found that it happens when the iterator CheckInUniversalResultIterator is called.
HTTP Analyzer shows that there are only empty SOAP messages sent to UCM but the correct values are present in the the bean.
Here is the code of the bean:

If you could enclose your code inside tag it will improve readability for us.
Anyways, first thing that I could think of is - what is the scope of your managed bean..? If its in request scope can you try changing it to higher scope level (session scope or page view scope).
