Problems sending String parameters with Axis 1.2 RC 3 client to .Net 1.1 service

[Walter Parton <wp...@smud.org>]

Hello,
 
We have an Axis java client (Axis 1.2 RC3) that is communicating to a .Net web service correctly, however, the 
rpc encoded variable problem is cropping up and causing the .NET service to not 
correctly pull in the passed strings. We know we need to turn off the rpc 
encoding so that the Axis client will send the parameters as 
document/literal, problem is we don't know how to turn it off in the java 
client code. We suspect that with RC 3 it is doable (according to the release message it accomodates literal/document and .net). So our plead for help is - Which property do we set, or which flag do we toggle to turn off rpc and turn on literal/document?

 Any assistance would be of great help! I 
included the client code below. 
Thanks
