Julien Coloos commented on AXIS-1897:
-------------------------------------

I encountered a similar problem with a WebMethods client when dealing with a Map object.

A snippet of my WSDL (generated by Java2WSDL) :

...
  <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap">
   <import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
   <complexType name="mapItem">
    <sequence>
     <element name="key" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
     <element name="value" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
   <complexType name="Map">
    <sequence>
     <element name="item" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="apachesoap:mapItem"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
  </schema>
...

Doing some further testing (sending RAW requests to the WebService) seemed to show that the problem was WebMethods (and here .NET too) using a tag named 'item' inside the Map, but actually being an Array :

(snippet of WebMethods requests)
...
          <data xsi:type="sc2:Map" xmlns:sc2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" id="id2">
            <item xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="sc2:mapItem[1]" id="id3">
              <item xsi:type="sc2:mapItem" id="id4">
                <key xsi:type="xsd:string">1</key>
                <value xsi:type="xsd:string">1</value>
              </item>
            </item>
          </data>
...

(with your .NET client)
...
    <q1:Map id="id1" xsi:type="q1:Map" xmlns:q1="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap">
      <item href="#id2"/>
    </q1:Map>
    <soapenc:Array id="id2" soapenc:arrayType="q2:mapItem[2]" xmlns:q2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap">
      <Item href="#id3"/>
      <Item href="#id4"/>
    </soapenc:Array>
...


Using the same request WebMethods was sending, but replacing the parent 'item' tagname (the one being said to be a SOAP-ENC:Array) by something else (any other name), the WebServer replied the expected answer ...

Maybe the Map deserializer assumes that any child tag named 'item' will be a mapItem (as defined in the WSDL ... even if this tag is said to be of another type - SOAP-ENC:Array here) ?
