Description:
============
An Axis client sends a SOAP request with multiRef tags in the body. BW SOAP/Service cannot decode the message and throws an "output data invalid" error.

Enviroment:
===========
All versions of BW
All OS

Resolution:
===========
If multiRef is enabled in Axis, Axis generates a SOAP message similar to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <soapenv:Body>
        <ns1:Notification xmlns:ns1="http://InputMessageNamespace" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
            <NotificationRequestType xmlns="" href="#id0"/>
        </ns1:Notification>
        
        <multiRef xmlns="" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns2="..." id="id0" soapenc:root="0" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xsi:type="ns2:NotificationRequestType">
            <ClientInfo xmlns="" href="#id1"/>
            <Notification xmlns="" href="#id2"/>
        </multiRef>

        <multiRef id="id2">
        </multiRef>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


BW cannot deserialize the message because of the <multiRef> tag. BW throws "output data invalid" and com.tibco.xml.validation.exception.d: unexpected content "ClientInfo" error.
There is no option in BW to make the request pass through BW. The user should disable multiRef on the Axis side.
