Control over xsi:type in ArraySerializer?

[Brian Atkins <br...@agilent.com>]

I am building a client to interface to a service with no WSDL
specs available using Axis 1.1.  I can model the data any way
I want in Java, but eventually need to generate the following
serialization:

   <operation>
       <opcode xsi:type="xsd:string">login</opcode>
       <parms soapenc:arrayType="ns3:Item[2]" xsi:type="ns3:ItemList">
           <item>
               <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Username</name>
               <value xsi:type="xsd:string">user<value>
           </item>
           <item>
               <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Password</name>
               <value xsi:type="xsd:string">pass</value>
           </item>
       </parms>
    </operation>

I am using BeanSerializer to handle Operation and Item, but can't
seem to get the correct encoding for parms.

When I model the parms as an Item[] the ArraySerializer is called
and I get the following element:

     <parms soapenc:arrayType="ns3:Item[2]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array">

When I model parms as an ItemList class which extends Vector, and
register VectorSerializer, I get the correct xsi:type of "ns3:ItemList",
I don't get soapenc:arrayType encoded at all.

I can't find any way to override xsi:type for this element using either
VectorSerializer or ArraySerializer, and really want to use one of those
rather than write my own.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
