REPOST: arrayType encoding: xsd:ur-type

[Ken Pelletier <ke...@nika.com>]

An outside client is sending the following array encoding for an  
argument to a method, and Axis is not deserializing it.  ( See error  
return w/stack trace below )

<trackIDs SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:ur-type[1]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array">
     <item_0 xsi:type="xsd:string">3888197206</item_0>
</trackIDs>

If I change the arrayType from xsd:ur-type to xsd:string and resend the  
message with TCPMonitor, the server deserializes it successfully.

This appears to be true for all array types; the ur-type[] encoding is  
not being deserialized by Axis.

Q)  Is this valid encoding for an arrayType?    I see many examples of  
this, and it does work with Apache SOAP.

Q) What can I do on the server side to get this to deserialize properly?

The client code that generates this array encoding is not under my  
control.
