Has anyone ever encounter any problems returning a boolean type from a web service request. I am using Axis on the server side and I generated the stub codes using WSDL2Java.
I also generated the test cases using the ANT script. When I run my test case I get an exception.
[junit] - Exception:

I look at the SOAP response being sent back and it seems okay to me.

I took a look at the RPCHandler class where the excpetion seems to be coming from and the code did not make too much sense to me. The place where this exception is has a //FIXME attached to it. Not sure if the code is complete or not. So I start debugging that piece in isolation and my debug statements show that the value being returned is not the return value of the function .rather it is returning the parameter to the function call. I have not started with debugging the deserializer yet but if anyone has faced this problem before please throw some light on the subject.
Thanks,
Arijith
