yes, yes it does. In fact it makes enums of anything other than well 
behaved java field names useless. Dont even think of having "null" as a 
name in a state table, for example. In fact, dont dare add an illegal 
field to an existing enum.


I am sure things will be better in the future, what with real enums and 
JAX-RPC handing off the serialization blame to someone else.  But I also 
think it is the lack of enums in classic Java is why this thing got into 
a state: with no native enums to serialize, enums got neglected.


FYI, I am planning on doing a paper on the fundamental flaws of JAX-RPC, 
working titile "yes, it really is broken",
for this journal. http://ijwsr.ncl.ac.uk/

You can review it if you want, early next week.

It will be derived from the experiences covered here, in "A service API 
for deployment"

By the way, have you reviewd JAX-RPC 2.0 ED for the issue? I mean, how the
new spec deals with those flaws (well or not).

I feel I'm very familiar with the domain name :-)

I'd love to. How about "Introducing Axis 2 architecture" to the journal?
