stub ClassCastException

[mi...@netscape.net]

Hi,

I have just started using WSIF and am having trouble casting to arrays of objects. I am trying to get results from the following operation (stub created from WSDL with WSDL2Java)

    public com.amazon.soap.ProductLine[] blendedSearchRequest(com.amazon.soap.BlendedRequest blendedSearchRequest) throws java.rmi.RemoteException;

The stub call to the above throws this exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object;
    at $Proxy0.blendedSearchRequest(Unknown Source)
    at Run.main(Run.java:58)

If I have the operation being called to a function that returns a single object ie not an array, everything is fine. Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks

mick

Here's the code:

import org.apache.wsif.WSIFService;
import org.apache.wsif.WSIFServiceFactory;
import org.apache.wsif.WSIFException;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

import com.amazon.soap.*;


/**
