Stop typecasting

Hi all- 

I have a problem with passing a long integer parameter into an axis web
service that normally accepts a string value.  

The method's parameter is defined as a String (it holds a username)
because is has been up to now, but I have a user that needs to use a
number for a username and the number is being typecasted to a long and
the service fails to find a method to use...  21696004414140 is an
example.  I have tried overloading the method, but still no joy. I
believe that I am causing an 'Integer too large' error.... Just doesn't
work.

Is there a way to stop axis from typecasting? What should I do?  

TIA-
Scott
