can you try if this problem occurs if you set envelope.implicitTypes= false ? 
From what I understand now it might not happen then..

I am having the same problem. For any primitive type returning as empty i get 
anyType{} response. The only workaround i have found is to compare each 
returned value with ANYTYPE{} uppercased and then assign response acordingly.

Would it be worth it to add e.g. a setting like translateAnyType which will 
cause them all to be translated to "" ?

Couldn't this be regarded as fixed?
As this doesn't happen when .getPrimitivePropertySafely() (coming with next 
release) is used?

Why is this issue marked as 'fixed'?
Even with ksoap2-3.0.0-RC.2 I still have the same issue, and same way!
When WS doesn't return anything it's ok. But others return " <opt/> " as blank 
String and ksoap read just like this " opt=anyType{}; " (you can print 
envelope.bodyOut).
It is a biig problem.

Any admin, deployer etc to correct ksoap project?

Like I said in the comment above .. just use the write methods to parse you 
output and it will work fine. Also if you think it should be changed or fixed 
feel free to to so and send a pull request with your enhancement. At this stage 
I consider this not a bug in ksoap but in the way you are using it..

Thank you mosa., you helped me.
I just can't understand/agree the reason thats not a bug.
And the real difference between getPrimitivePropertySafelyAsString and 
getPropertySafelyAsString.
I'd be glad if i can help with a pull request.(but i need to undestand better)
Thanks again..
