I have a Web Service in Axis (latest version) which can't be called by a .Net client (VB-based). I believe the problem is with the way href's are built in .Net. Axis uses multiRef, but .Net doesn't.
Another problem I've noticed: the WSDL file that gets generated from the service url with the ?WSDL is incorrect. It states that a StringHolder type is returned (from http://holders.rpc.xml.javax namespace), but what gets returned is a xs:string type. As a consequence, I had to supply the .Net client with the wsdl file I've manually created (and which was used to feed the Axis wsdl2java tool). Included below are the wsdl file, a sample good request/response from the JUnit test class and the bad request/response from .Net.
