make a parameter of type byte array nullable in an axis web service

Question

i have a java method that is part of an web service interface and that takes a byte array parameter like this

public int computeSomeThind(byte[] data) {
  if(data != null) {
    // ... do what ever
  } else {
    return -1;
  }
}

When a generate the wsdl with axis 1.3 the data parameter will appear as not nullable. Is there a way to define this as nullable?

Answer 1

As suggested by mhaller in his comment Byte[] seems to be the solution.
