Hello Anne, I am sorry for raising a question without thoroughly going through the wiki & the mailing list. I am new to the webservices business, and I realized the main reason for that error was using the default rpc encoding -- and after i changed it to wrapped/literal .net client stopped throwing the exception. I know this should have been the first thing i should have tried, but i was not aware of different styles of encoding SOAP messages. But even after I switched to wrapped/literal I had this issue where .net client just returning the 1st element of the array. Dino suggests to use the write WSDL first approach, but this is not possible as I am using Mule (muleumo.org) for exposing components via SOAP and other mediums. I applied the Eric's patch but the problem didnt go away.

I also noticed that after applying Eric's patch the only change in the SOAP message was - <ns1:getArrayOfStringReturn xmlns:ns1="http://integration";> tag. I also went through Dino's excellent writeup - http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/DotNetInterop but i am confused how he got the array samples to work, may be because he used the write WSDL first approach. What am i still doing wrong? I will really appreciate any suggestions to overcome this issue. thanks, Harsha.
