Supported Collection Types

["Rathert Jonas (Platinion)" <Ra...@PLATINION.DE>]

Hi there,

I'm new to this list, so at first a "Thank you!" to all the 
developers of axis.  I just started with WebServices, and I 
appreciate to have an implementation that I can use to learn 
how to do it "the right jaxrpc way", without having to use the 
\HUGE Sun WSDP.

One thing I miss in axis is a complete list of supported types.  
I went through the axis website and the jaxrpc specs, and found that 
the primitive types and a few others are supported by jaxrpc, and 
everything else is up to the implementor. 

So far I tried with Vector, ArrayList and HashMap, and from these, 
ArrayList does not seem to work (using it in an interface and then
doing a java2wsdl and then wsdl2java resulted in a mapping to 
java.lang.Object[]) - but I am too new to this to decide whether
I did something wrong or just miss some docs? 

And if there are (collection) types that are not supported:  Is there 
any _technical_ reason for this?

Thanks in advance

  Jonas
