I have had the exact same problem as both of these bugs, but with complex types.

My error trace looks like this:

> class java.lang.String)

Looking at the code in org.apache.axis.message.RPCHandler.onStartChild(), it 
looks to me like (just maybe) it's trying a bit too hard.  

The section that's failing appears to be trying to head off a possible 
deserialization problem by checking that source and destination types are 
actually convertible.   While this appears to be an appropriate action, you 
have to ask, "Why?  What would happen if we didn't do this check?"  If the 
deserialization actually is impossible, we'll throw an exception then.  This 
piece of code seems (to me, again, with respect) to be totally superfluous PLUS 
it means that you have to maintain JavaUtils.isConvertable() as well.

So I removed lines 267 to 277:
              if (paramDesc != null && paramDesc.getJavaType() != null) {
                  // If we have an xsi:type, make sure it makes sense
                  // with the current paramDesc type
                  Class xsiClass = 
                          context.getTypeMapping().getClassForQName(type);
                  if (!JavaUtils.isConvertable(xsiClass, destClass)) {
                      System.out.println("dser = " + dser.getClass().getName());
                      throw new SAXException("Bad types (" +
                                             xsiClass + " -> " + destClass 
+ ")"); // FIXME!
                  }
              }

And now it works for me.

My complex object "com.touchcorp.soap.ihire.THireInfo" is handled by the 
BeanSerializer and my client now works totally happily.  

Hope this is useful to you.
