(1) The ArrayList value is serialized as a soap array which is then
deserialized on the client side as an object array. There is currently no
way to change this other than for you to provide a custom MapDeserializer,
which does the normal deserialization and then converts the values into
ArrayLists. Note that the org.apache.axis.utils.JavaUtils.convert(..)
method is a useful way to convert an object array into an ArrayList.
(3) Same as above.
The rationale is that JSR 101 indicates that soap arrays should be
deserialized into object arrays.
Hope this helps!

Subject: ArrayLists inside of Maps or other ArrayLIsts
1.) We are trying to send a HashMap that contains a UID as a Key and an
ArrayList as the Value. But when we deserilize it the client calling
code
gets a HashMap of object arrays. Is there a known fix for this???
2.) Does the new version of Axis support HashSet? If not does anyone have
any sudgestions on the best way to support it. (Write my own ser,deser?)
3.) By the way the same behavior as number 1.) seems to be happning with
an
ArrayList of ArrayList. You get the outer structure (arraylist/hashmap)
but the inner structure is an object array.
Thanks,
Michael
