Problem conclusion
The IBM JAXB Unmarshaller was assuming that the getter method for a List property would never return null, leading to a NullPointerException in the case when the getter does return null. The problem is resolved by adding code to the Unmarshaller to check for null and if encountered, create a new List to add to the JAXB object. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.15.
