Eric,
we could not find sufficient information about interoperability in detail and
checked out those issues with Axis and .NET on our own. Here is a list of out
_primarily_ results. If we have some more time we will publish testcases and
bugreports...
HTH.

Note 1: Of course, we changed the style (RPC/encoded, Doc/literal) on the server
side first and generated new stubs for each client.
Note 2: You have to transfer data to test interoperability. Only validataing if
stubs can be generated is not sufficient.
Note 3: There is no difference in interoperability if you are using .NET 1.1
with or without .NET Service Pack 1 and with or without Microsoft WS
Enhancements.
Note 4: There were no differences regarding this issues using Doc/literal or
Doc/wrapped in Axis 1.2 Beta 3
Note 5: Simple Datatypes: int, Integer, double, Double, String,
java.util.Calendar(!) etc.; Complex Objects: like Address or so.; Object Arrays
like Address[]; Complex Object w/ nested Object Arrays like Person with nested
Address[];
As a result we cannot recommend using Doc/literal at this time if one client is
using .NET.

Betreff: Axis and .NET interoperability - Arrays
I have read a LOT of discussions concerning problems serializing and
deserializing arrays between an Axis server and a .NET client but can't
seem to find any definitive discussion/document. Is there one?
Secondly,
