AXIS2-1.2RC1 can NOT deserialize byte[] member variable

[donald yang <do...@googlemail.com>]

I have developed one test case for attachment. AXIS2-1.2 RC1 can NOT
desserialize byte[] member variable[1][2][3]. However if the byte[] is NOT a
member variable, it works fine.

best regards
donald

[1] ComplexRecord.java which defines a byte[] member variable
*

import* java.io.Serializable;

*public* *class* ComplexRecord *implements* Serializable

{

*private* *byte*[] attachment;

*private* *int* count;

*public* *byte*[] getAttachment() {

*return* attachment;

 }

*public* *void* setAttachment(*byte*[] attachment) {

*this*.attachment = attachment;

}

*public* *int* getCount() {

*return* count;

}

*public* *void* setCount(*int* count) {

*this*.count = count;

}

}

[2] web service test case
*

public* *class* TestCaseService

{

*public* ComplexRecord echoComplex(ComplexRecord record, String dest)

{

System.*out*.println("record.count is " + record.getCount());

System.*out*.println("record.attachment is : " + *new* String(
record.getAttachment()));

System.*out*.println("dest is : " + dest);

*return* record;

}

..........

}
