Hi,
I noticed on compatibility test results on the wingfoot site that wingfoot SOAP is shown as fully compatible with Apache Axis. I was wondering if wingfoot soap1.02 with J2SE transport supports the use of Maps and Lists as parameters and return types against Axis beta 2? I'm running Axis beta 2 and have a service published with the following interface:
public Map getProfile(String type, Map ids);
and when I run a wingfoot client making this call against Axis the following SAXException occurs on the server:
[ERROR,AxisServlet] Exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (null -> interface java.util.Map)

If I try to use a Hashtable as the actual value for the parameter passed instead of a HashMap, I get a slightly different exception:
[ERROR,AxisServlet] Exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Only ''item'' elements are allowed in a Map!

It seems in this case that wingfoot is using <mapitem> tags for each element in the Hashtable, and Axis is expecting <item> tags?? Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
