Oaam soap call: requestName is null, xmlParamater is null ??

Question

Hi,
I have a basically set up OAAM 11.1.5 with the web services turned on.
I used SOAP UI to point to the VCryptTrackerWS wsdl to generate a project so I could test requests and responses.
I then created a WAR deployed on tomcat using the soap api client jar to make calls as well.
After a while I have both SOAP UI and the WAR generating the same message and getting the same response. In the OAAM server logs the web service endpoint thinks that it has not received a real message (or unmarshalled the SOAP message) complaining that the requestName and xmlParameter elements in the execute node are null.
While I get a response I believe that something is not quite right, but am at a loss as to where to start looking.
The request and response XMLs are as follows:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:vcr="http://jaxws.oracle.com/oaam_ws/services/VCryptTrackerWS">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<vcr:execute>
<requestName>trackerInit</requestName>
<xmlParameter>&lt;String&gt;&lt;value&gt;&lt;&lt;[CDATA[Server Warmup]]&gt;&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/String&gt;</xmlParameter>
</vcr:execute>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
response:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<ns0:executeResponse xmlns:ns0="http://jaxws.oracle.com/oaam_ws/services/VCryptTrackerWS">
<return xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
</ns0:executeResponse>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

Hi,
It's just a limitation of PL/SQL that we have to deal with... from the documentation: "Records cannot be tested for nullity, or compared for equality, or inequality".
If you really need to do this check you may want to create a function for it:
function t_flight_rec_is_null (
   p_rec in t_flight%rowtype
) return boolean
is
begin
   return p_rec.field1 is null and p_rec.field2 is null ... and p_rec.fieldN is null;
end;cheers,
