I forgot to note that it wouldn't be too hard to modify the ArraySerializer
in SOAP 2.2 to have equivalent functionality to the one in Axis, and then
register a typemapping for ArrayLists.  We'd be psyched for people to try
out Axis, but if you want to use a non-alpha toolkit, or need SOAP 2.2 (for
attachments or other features Axis doesn't do yet), you can certainly
acheive the same results with some extra coding effort.
