      Due to an issue in a DOM utility class, the procedure for finding children of a soap element by their tag name was failing and returned a NullPointerException when the soap element had the null namespace. With the update, the parsing process has been fixed and the search process completes successfully.

      Description

      When ReadHeaderInterceptor processes the following inbound SOAP message, DOMUtils throws a NullPointerException for the null namespace Header element:

      <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:foo="http://cxf.apache.org/foo" xmlns:bar="http://cxf.apache.org/bar">
      		 
        <soapenv:Header>
      		 
          <foo:myheader>
      		 
            <Header>
      		 
              <bar:type>mytype</head:type>
      		 
            </Header>
      		 
          </foo:myheader>
      		 
        </soapenv:Header>
      		 
        ...

      A NPE guard is needed.
