Confusing issue on Maps

I'm pretty new on SOAP, but now I have a need;

If I read
http://xml.apache.org/soap/releases.html#v2.2
it says;

"Added support for serializing/deserializing java.util.Maps."

If I download 
http://xml.apache.org/dist/soap/version-2.3.1/soap-src-2.3.1.tar.gz
and look at the file

soap-2_3_1/src/org/apache/soap/encoding/soapenc/MapSerializer.java

it delegates to HashtableSerializer.java

which checks if the type is java.util.Hashtable


SO, Is it supported or not??

If it is, then what am I supposed to do to get it to work?

If it is not, then what is the claim in the documentation all about then?
