Axis clients sending arrays of ANYs containing arrays of strings send bad SOAP request.

           Summary: Axis clients sending arrays of ANYs containing arrays of
                    strings send bad SOAP request.
           Product: Axis
           Version: current (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Serialization/Deserialization
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ckowal@actional.com


Given the following .NET C# web service:

	[WebMethod]
	public object[] HelloWorld(object[] arg)
	{
		return arg;
	}

And calling it with the following Axis client:

	ArrayOfAnyType arg = new ArrayOfAnyType();
	ArrayOfAnyType rtrn;

	Object[] any = new Object[]{new String[]{"s1","s2"},
				    new String[]{"s3", "s4"}};

	arg.setAnyType(any);

	rtrn = fport.helloWorld(arg);

The following SOAP document will be sent as the request:
.NET will actually except it and send back the same thing as the reply,
then Axis will throw and exception saying it can't be parsed:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which 
is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.
