'BeanInfo' requests in my server log?

[ri...@cardsetc.com]

Dear all,

I'm using the Apache SOAP BeanSerializer to serialize my JavaBeans between
applet and servlet. It works, but I'm seeing some odd things in the server
logs:

   Specifically, I see requests for 'xxxBeanInfo.class', where 'xxx' is the
   fully qualified name of my bean. This only worries me because it seems
   kind of slow, and I'm not specifying a 'codebase' in my Java applet,
   only an 'archive' parameter, so I was hoping it wouldn't be able to go
   fishing around on my server for classes that aren't there.

   I've never written one of these BeanInfo classes, or seen one generated,
   so it's evident that whoever is looking for it isn't getting it, and yet
   works anyway.

I'm assuming this is BeanSerializer behaviour, but can I turn it off? It
causes a lot of unnecessary server hits.

Many thanks in advance,

Richard.
