With doc/lit, we found that we need to pass data structures back and forth in String array form. We cannot pass anything more complex (like Hashmaps of Hashmaps or ArrayLists of custom objects). So if we need to pass complex data structures, we "serialize" it into a few arrays containing all the information in the complex data structure, then put it into a custom object containing just all arrays, then we "de-serialize" it back into the actual complex data structure on the other end. We however do not experience random error as you described. I would like to suggest you keep things simple when using doc/lit as doc/lit is not a complete part of axis and can have a lot of undefined behavior. I am wondering why axis still insists on use rpc as default as it does not scale well and is effectively useless in production environments with more than one concurrent hit? -- Lyndon Tiu
