  When the following XSD was used to define the anonymous type
  named LocalElement under the null namespace (without
  namespace), calling TypeHelper.getType(null, "LocalElement")
  won't be able to retrieve the type.
  
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xsd:element name="LocalElement">
      <xsd:complexType>
        <xsd:sequence>
          <xsd:element name="Value">
            <xsd:complexType>
              <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="ValueLocalElement"
  type="xsd:string"/>
              </xsd:sequence>
            </xsd:complexType>
          </xsd:element>
     </xsd:sequence>
      </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>
  </xsd:schema>
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is the key of the anonymous type hash map is null
  when the type is anonymous. When the users called
  TypeHelper.getType(String namespace, String typeName) with
  null namespace, the namespace argument is normailized by
  javax.xml.namespace.QName.getNamespaceURI() to become
  XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI ("") before trying to retrieve type
  from the hash map. To solve the problem, the key of the hash
  map has been normailzed to XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI when it is
  null.
  
  APAR PM05982 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 1.0.1.3 of WebSphere Application Server v7
  Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA) Refresh
  Pack. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
