  Since SOAP was written to work with a large number of languages, it
has to be able to work with a common denominator, what can all of these
languages work with.

  C does not easily know how to deal with some of the collection types.

  You can look at http://docs.pushtotest.com/axisdocs/user-guide.html
for some information on writing a custom serializer/deserializer, then
you can get your server and client to send collections across, perhaps.

  I haven't looked through it too carefully, but on a quick glance, this
site may be useful:
