jax-ws client and axis server - passing a null date value

Question

when passing a null value for a XMLGregorianCalendar parameter jax-ws does so by ommiting the corresponding xml element. this causes the following excpetion from the server:

SOAPFaultException: date string can not be less than 19 charactors

when handcoding the request and representing the null value by using an empty element:

<web:gueltigVon xsd:null='true' />

everything works as expected. is there a way to tell jax-ws how to present a null value to the server?

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same problem.
