getOMElement fails to properly set the counts on null/nil items

When there is a series of null/nil arguments in a call, getOMElement fails to increase the item count when it should leading to an "invalid value ... for " Fault on the server side.

The fix is pretty simple : add ++argCount before the continue int the arg == null test in getOMElement (see patch).

Example without the patch, the 4 item 1 are in fact 4 different arguments !

With the fix, it's all clean

<getAudits xmlns="http://soap.entelience.com">
<arg0 xmlns="">false</arg0>
<item1 xmlns="">3</item1><item1 xmlns="">4</item1>
<item2 xmlns="" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />
<item3 xmlns="" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />
<item4 xmlns="" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />
<arg5 xmlns="">false</arg5>
<arg6 xmlns="">origin</arg6>
<arg7 xmlns="">asc</arg7>
<arg8 xmlns="">1</arg8>
</getAudits>
