BeadDeserializer error when XML element starts with a capital letter

           Summary: BeadDeserializer error when XML element starts with a
                    capital letter
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.1beta
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Serialization/Deserialization
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: antelder@apache.org


The AXIS BeanDeserializer doesn't work with some Java beans when the incoming
XML has elements which start with a capital letter, which seems to be common
with .Net generated WSDL.

For a more complete description see this axis-user thread where the problem is
diagnosed: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=104203757522912&w=2

I've tested with the fix proposed on axis-user and it seems to work ok. Here's
the CVS diff:
