my opinion about this behaviour: This might be the reason why they have implemented it this way : I might have the A class properly mapped (deployed) but the B class might not be deployed (don't provide the information from deploymentDescriptor). So the apache soap does not check if B is mapped and instead it simply cast the returned object to the class found in the method signarure and serialize it. >From my viewPoint i think it would have been more realistic if implementing this check: if B registered then return a B object else the superclass registered. But I am not the one who has written the code so this might cause another problems in design.
