org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement underTimelyRenewal

Question

I am getting the below exception before hitting a axis 2 webservice.

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement underTimelyRenewal

I can't reproduce the same issue locally on tomcat or in DEV environment which runs in Weblogic. It justs happens only in 1 environment which runs on Weblogic 11g. This makes to think that I am missing some config in that environment, I am not sure what it is. Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Here is code that calls web service.

public  com.ibs.accouting.employeeVerificationResponse getEmployeeVerificationRequest(

                        com.ibs.accounting.EmployeeVerificationRequest employeeVerificationRequest108)

This error can be kind of misleading. AFter I modified the WSDL and added a new mandatory element, I created my client. Than this error appeared. The solution was, that I forgot to fill this element in one method of the my web service. If this error appears, also check if your mandatory elements are filled within the server. That it works under one environment and not in an other can also mean, that a mandatory item is filled on one server (development server) and not under the other (productive server).
