Namespace prefix in attribute value not resolved correctly [SWS-509]

I have following SOAP request.

 
<soapenv:Envelope  xmlns:ns="http://schemas.qqq.com/wsdl/spi/profile/1.0" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:getRights> 
            <ns:customerCredential xsi:type="ns:CustomerCredentialMsisdn">
               <ns:msisdn>420123456789</ns:msisdn>
            </ns:customerCredential>
      </ns:getRights>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

When umarshalling is called only the payload is passed to the unmarshaller. So DOM equivalent of following is used

 
<ns:getRights> 
            <ns:customerCredential xsi:type="ns:CustomerCredentialMsisdn">
               <ns:msisdn>420123456789</ns:msisdn>
            </ns:customerCredential>
</ns:getRights>

Please note that namespace prefix ns is not defined. Usually this is not a problem since in DOM namespaces are already resolved. There is one exception - attribute value. When XmlBeans try to unmarshall the element, they are not able to resolve the namespace and do not work correctly. I assume that Spring-WS should somehow take this situation into account.

If following request is used (the only difference is position of ns prefix declaration) everything works fine

 
<soapenv:Envelope  xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:getRights xmlns:ns="http://schemas.qqq.com/wsdl/spi/profile/1.0"> 
            <ns:customerCredential xsi:type="ns:CustomerCredentialMsisdn">
               <ns:msisdn>420123456789</ns:msisdn>
            </ns:customerCredential>
      </ns:getRights>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

This should be fixed, as it seems to be a duplicate of #634
