This sounds like a bug. Have you tried the latest Axis code ? If there is a bug, I can look into it on Monday.
If you don't want to install a deserializer, you *should* be able to: 1) not specify deserializer in the TypeMapping, or 2) specify deserializer with an empty string, or 3) specify deserializer="null" Seem reasonable ?

I tried to do it via a typeMapping tag in the wsdd, but both serializer and deserialiser have to be specified. Otherwise a ClassNotFoundException will be thrown. Do anyone now how to solve this? Thanks Lene
