SAXParseException when sending soap message

The SOAP message with empty default namespace (xmlns="") sent to WS can result in incorrect message received on WS handler side.

SOAP message sent to WS:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body>
    <SampleServiceRequest xmlns="http://test.example.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <RequestParams xmlns="">
            <Param1>Param1_Value</Param1>
            <Param2>Param2_Value</Param2>
        </RequestParams>
    </SampleServiceRequest>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Message received on WS handler side:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<s:Body>
    <SampleServiceRequest xmlns="http://test.example.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <RequestParams xmlns="http://test.example.com">
            <Param1 xmlns="">Param1_Value</Param1>
            <Param2 xmlns="">Param2_Value</Param2>
        </RequestParams>
    </SampleServiceRequest>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

The <RequestParams> has incorrect default namespace set: xmlns="http://test.example.com">, it should be xmlns="" instead.

The incorrect message can cause SAXParseException during the validation of the received message:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'RequestParams'. One of '{RequestParams}' is expected.
