serialization issue

[Nicolas De Loof <ni...@capgemini.com>]

My web service returns this object structure :

NumeroGta[] verifierTrancheNumero(args...)
"NumeroGta" is a javabean having a property of type Collection 
(LinkedList) containing "PrefixeCaa" beans.

Axis SOAP response is incorect as my collection is serialized as a 
NumeroGta array, not a PrefixeCaa array.
Using debuger, I've found that axis get collection item type from 
SerialisationContext.getItemType(). This property is set for top level 
collection (my NumeroGta[]) but not when encoding sub-collections.

IS this a known bug ?
What to do to solve this !

Nico.


When Axis generates SOAP message as service invocation response, I get  :
(simplified XML, but still long...)

<soapenv:Body>
    <ns1:verifierTrancheNumeroResponse>
        <verifierTrancheNumeroReturn 
soapenc:arrayType="ns2:NumeroGta[2]"          // OK I've got a NumeroGta 
array
            xsi:type="soapenc:Array">
            <verifierTrancheNumeroReturn href="#id0"/>
            <verifierTrancheNumeroReturn href="#id1"/>
        </verifierTrancheNumeroReturn>
    </ns1:verifierTrancheNumeroResponse>
    <multiRef id="id0" soapenc:root="0"
        xsi:type="ns3:NumeroGta">
        <prefixeCaas xsi:type="soapenc:Array" xsi:nil="true"/>         
                           // First NumeroGta has prefixeCaas = null
    </multiRef>
    <multiRef id="id1" soapenc:root="0"
        xsi:type="ns4:NumeroGta">  
        <prefixeCaas href="#id12"/>                                    
   // 2d NumeroGta has prefixeCaas != null
    </multiRef>
    <multiRef id="id12"
        soapenc:arrayType="*ns11:NumeroGta[2]*" 
xsi:type="soapenc:Array">      // Linked list is encoded a Array : OK
                                                                      
   *  // BUT arrayType should be PrefixeCaa[2], not NumeroGta[2] !!!!!*
        <multiRef href="#id14"/>
        <multiRef href="#id15"/>
    </multiRef>
