Difference in the way Namespaces are handled in JDK1.8_121 and JDK_1.8_141 or higher

[Tomas-Kraus]

I have come across an issue where the Namespaces are moved from child XML node to the Parent XML Node.
I want to know the reason behind this change. Also, if there is a way to override this behavior?
To demonstrate the issue. I have created a sample WebService Client and Server. It does not require any additional setup.

The Client should be using the lower JDK version i.e JDK1.8_121 or below and server JDK1.8_141.

The server prints the SOAPMessage in the handleMessage of the MessageHandler. The Namespace which was with <arg0 in JDK 1.8_121 is moved to the <soapenv:Body with JDK1.8_141.
WebServiceProj.zip

Here is the output for your reference.
Case 1. With JDK1.8_121

@server : handleMessage()......
*Message Start
This is an Inbound Request :
