Parameter ordering problem & param names being ignored problem

           Summary: Parameter ordering problem & param names being ignored
                    problem
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Basic Architecture
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kkress@bankofny.com


I created a simple web service that concatenates Strings together:
public String concatenateString
( 
    String first, String second, String third, String fourth
)
{
    return first + "." + second + "." + third + "." + fourth; 
}
when I call this using:

http://localhost:7001/axis/services/OrderTest?
method=concatenateString&first=one&second=two&third=three&fourth=four
I get:

<concatenateStringReturn 
xsi:type="xsd:string">four.three.two.one</concatenateStringReturn>

This reveals a problem:
1) ordering is being reversed

Originally, I thought there was an additional problem that the param names
were being ignored totally. But the following (using ints instead of strings) 
illustrates the reversal is consistent regardless of the order of incoming 
parameters.

http://localhost:7001/axis/services/OrderTest?
method=concatenateInt&second=2&first=1&fourth=4&third=3

produces:

<concatenateIntReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">4.3.2.1</concatenateIntReturn>
