Exposing plsql Packages as webservices using JDeveloper

Question

Hi folks,
I'm using Jdeveloper to publish database package/ procedures as webservices.These procedures use objects types as parameters (Varchar2's). I can generate the webservices (by the JDeveloper wizard), the WSDL file is generated;
Question is about the required and optional fields. In my procedure declaration I defined the input as Varchar2 and also defined a default
Procedure p ( p_var IN VARCHAR2 Default NULL) AS
BEGIN
NULL;
END; 
But when I deploy this package as webservice (via jdeveloper) to our weblogic server, and run a test, I get errors related to required fields if I don't pass in any value.
Invalid input arguments for the following fields: p_var value required
How would I change this behavior ? I made the procedures to accept default parameters ( even when no value is passed I would want my code to run)
Thanks in advance,
Prashanth

Thanks Timo !
Found out to be an issue with Oracle Fusion Middleware control (http://<hostname>:<port>/em ) validating for required Inputs, but when tested with SOAP UI or Web logic Test Client (http://<hostname>:<port>/wls_utc) it works as expected. Reported the issue to Oracle Support and the problem has been reproduced there.
