Marshaling arrays and lists seems to be wrong
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-3341
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3341
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: databinding
    Affects Versions: 1.2, 1.3
         Environment: JDK 1.5 and Geronimo 1.1 , also Websphere 6.1
            Reporter: Boris Georgiev


The problem seems to be about incorrect marshaling of arrays and lists. Looks 
like, for each element in the array is called the method toString(), then all 
of the array elements are separated by spaces and finally all the result is 
placed in a single xml element.

As I see, according to the schema in the WSDL, every element of the array needs 
to be in its own element. Then, calling toString() may work for a simple type, 
it is completely meaningless for a complex types, as it is usually the string 
representation of the object's handle.
 
I get the same result with or without response wrapper objects. I observe it 
for the return types, I have not tested it for arrays in the input paparameters.

Can I use some other databinding mechanism, in order to avoid this and how?

To demonstarate it, I have created a simple web service project. The service 
name is "GenericService" there are four methods, returning: array of string, 
array of a complex type, list of string and a list of a complex type.

The attached file return_messages.txt contains the messages: as they are 
observed and as they need to be for arrays. For lists, the messages are the 
same.

Te attached file jaxw-axis2.zip contains the sample geronimo/eclipse project, 
without the axis2 libraries.
