BeanSerailizer cannot serialize casted array

           Summary: BeanSerailizer cannot serialize casted array
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Serialization/Deserialization
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: khun_panya@yahoo.com


I have

public class MyParent {
  private Object[] internalUse() {
    ..... blah blah ...
  }
  public MyChild[] getItems() {
    return (MyChild[])internalUse();
  }
  public void setItems(MyChild[] value) {
    // do nothing
  }
}

and a service method that will return MyParent class, e.g.

public class MyService {
  public MyParent myMethod().....
}

and deployed with

<parameter name="className" value="mypak.MyService"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="myMethod"/>
<beanMapping qname="tns:MyParent"
  languageSpecificType="java:mypak.MyParent" />
<beanMapping qname="tns:MyChild"
  languageSpecificType="java:mypak.MyChild" />


It doesn't work.

I have to change getItems() method to
public MyChild[] getItems() {
  int len = internalUse().length;
  MyChild[] arr = new MyChild[len];
  for(int i=0; i<len; i++) {
    arr[i] = (MyChild)internalUse()[i];
  }
  return arr;
}


P.S. My Java full version is "1.4.1_02-b06"
