Yeah, that is normal behavior, but they are going to change the
behavior in a future release so that it's always bare arrays (ie, no
<item> tag). See
in http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1547

Hi all
I've found something weird in Array serialization :
We have a Bean that hold an array of something (here its an array of
Book), it provides methods to access its content (may be a getter or
indexed getter)
And I see that the serilaized message looks different if we use indexed
getter or direct getter !!
Here are the traces :
#1:
without indexed methods :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<echoInOutBookArray xmlns="">
<varBook xsi:type="ns1:ArrayOfBook"
xmlns:ns1="http://holdertest.org/xsd">
<arrayOfBook>
<item xsi:type="ns1:Book">
<author xsi:type="xsd:string">author0</author>
<isbn xsi:type="xsd:int">0</isbn>
<title xsi:type="xsd:string">title0</title>
</item>
<item xsi:type="ns1:Book">
<author xsi:type="xsd:string">author1</author>
<isbn xsi:type="xsd:int">1</isbn>
<title xsi:type="xsd:string">title1</title>
</item>
</arrayOfBook>
</varBook>
</echoInOutBookArray>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
#2:
with indexed methods :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<echoInOutBookArray xmlns="">
<varBook xsi:type="ns1:ArrayOfBook"
xmlns:ns1="http://holdertest.org/xsd">
<arrayOfBook xsi:type="ns1:Book">
<author xsi:type="xsd:string">author0</author>
<isbn xsi:type="xsd:int">0</isbn>
<title xsi:type="xsd:string">title0</title>
</arrayOfBook>
<arrayOfBook xsi:type="ns1:Book">
<author xsi:type="xsd:string">author1</author>
<isbn xsi:type="xsd:int">1</isbn>
<title xsi:type="xsd:string">title1</title>
</arrayOfBook>
</varBook>
</echoInOutBookArray>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Is this a normal behavior ? I was expecting Axis to always write a
SOAPMessage as #2 !
More, we are in document/literal and #1 looks like a soap encoded array
(using <item>).
If someone can give me an explanation, I'll be very happy :)
PS : Just try to uncomment the index getter/setter in
test.holders.ArrayOfBook, you'll see the differences.
Note : the test is not failing when we uncomment these methods, that's
just the message format ...
