Hi, Handling of arrays for rpc/encoded web services is a suprisingly complex problem. The SOAP spec provides several different, but apparently equivalent, techniques. One of which is that employed by Axis C++ serialiation, another of which is that used by Axis Java.
Regrettably, it would appear the AxisCPP deserializer doesn't handle all the variations. Can you raise a Jira issue for this, including the SOAP messages you give below.
