When you use generics in Java, after you compile, all type information that you have provided in the source code is lost. It is called type erasure. It is only to help the compiler check your assumptions. The type info is not put in the class files. Thus, it cannot be extracted from compiled code. So, a Set<MyClass> is in fact just a Set<Object>.

I just realized that Java2WSDL is the culprit. At least I guess that it
is responsible for the wsdl I get when invoking
http://...:8080/service/blabla?wsdl So is there a possibility to not
generate a wsdl that corresponds to Object[] but MyClass[].
Perhaps there are other wsdl generators I could use?
