<typeMapping encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; qname="java:Map" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.MapSerializerFactory" deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.MapDeserializerFactory" type="java:java.util.Map"/>
which will be described in ur wsdl as
<schema targetNamespace="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
<complexType name="mapItem">
<sequence>
<element name="key" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="value" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<complexType name="Map">
<sequence>
<element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="item" type="apachesoap:mapItem"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<complexType name="mapItem"> <sequence> <element name="key" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> <element name="value" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> </sequence> </complexType>
</schema>
the Web Service method which returns a map can be received into SOAP request and response messages.

Well this is pain in the neck. I have been trying to define a map, like java hash map, in WSDL. Have anyone done this before. Would you like to share your experience?
