The problem is that when I go in and edit the automatically generated SoapBindingImpl.java, I find that axis has changed the dates to Calendars i.e.Date is mapped to Calender, I believe that is according to a specification. So, using the date class would be a bad idea, since you won't necessarily have everything where you want it when it is reassembled by the other end (server -> client or whatever).
For Vector just turn it into an array of some object, and send that across instead, as you can then rebuild the vector on the receiving end afterwards, though you may find it easier just to leave it as an array of objects.
