Description Scott Lewis CLA 2011-02-02 02:42:06 EST 
In EndpointDescriptionParser.processValue is this code:

		private String processValue(String characters) {
			if (characters == null || characters.length() == 0)
				return null;

			if (valueType.equals("String")) //$NON-NLS-1$
				return characters;
			int startIndex = 0;
			while (Character.isWhitespace(characters.charAt(startIndex)))
				startIndex++;
			int endIndex = characters.length() - 1;

			while (Character.isWhitespace(characters.charAt(endIndex)))
				endIndex--;
			return characters.substring(startIndex, endIndex + 1);
		}


This code will fail with an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception if the characters is " " (a single space).
