In reading this list for a while, I have noticed that a lot of people have trouble (de)serializing things like Vectors, Lists, Maps, etc...
I have found that the best way to use Axis / XML-RPC is to only use real typed objects such as arrays and concrete objects such as JavaBeans. I don't see how Axis could operate well using a late-binding approach. So, with this trend, I have a couple of questions. Feel free to state your opinion. In regards to XML-RPC 1. Is it practical to consider serializing any of the Collection interfaces? If so, is it safe? When should this be considered? 2. Should Axis users be encouraged to avoid such constructs over the wire and stick with strictly typed objects? 3. Should this be made a part of the documentation? Thanks in advance, Ben Tomasini
