array serialization on response introducing an extraneous item element

           Summary: array serialization on response introducing an
                    extraneous item element
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Serialization/Deserialization
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: nyayo@hotmail.com


I am trying to echo a an array of complex types via axis. My complex object is 
an object(called intClass) with a single primitive int member variable. The 
input to the web service is a primitive integer and the echo is an array of 6 
intClass objects.

Instead of an intClass element, the response generates an item element. The 
WSDL also does not mention an item element anywhere. 

Hence what I get is:
    <soapenv:Body>
        <ns1:getIntClassArrayResponse
            soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xmlns:ns1="http://tejash:8080/axis/services/ArrayReturnTest">
            <echoIntArray soapenc:arrayType="ns2:intClass[6]"
                xmlns:ns2="urn:BeanService"
                xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xsi:type="soapenc:Array">
                <item>
                    <intArg xsi:type="xsd:int">6</intArg>
                </item>
                <item>
                    <intArg xsi:type="xsd:int">7</intArg>
                </item>
            </echoIntArray>
        </ns1:getIntClassArrayResponse>
    </soapenv:Body>

But what I am expecting is:
    <soapenv:Body>
        <ns1:getIntClassArrayResponse
            soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xmlns:ns1="http://tejash:8080/axis/services/ArrayReturnTest">
            <echoIntArray soapenc:arrayType="ns2:intClass[6]"
                xmlns:ns2="urn:BeanService"
                xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xsi:type="soapenc:Array">
                <intClass>
                    <intArg xsi:type="xsd:int">6</intArg>
                </intClass>
                <intClass>
                    <intArg xsi:type="xsd:int">7</intArg>
                </intClass>
            </echoIntArray>
        </ns1:getIntClassArrayResponse>
    </soapenv:Body>

Where is this extraneous item element emanating from?
