Encoding question: 'char', List, etc.

[Kyle Morris]

I notice that the Apache SOAP (v2.2) package
org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc  includes serializers for most of the
primitive types as well as classes like java.util.Vector.

Why not for the 'char' primitive type?

Why not java.util.List (well, ok, this one might be explained by not wanting
to require JDK 1.2)?
