Instead of using stucts you may consider us maps. define a map in WSDL and use AXIS to generate the required stub classes. Using the stub classes, you can send maps to the server.

For example, I want to send: "username" => "bob smith" "hobbies" => "fishing, bike riding, skiing" Now, how can I achieve this in axis? I have a sample .jws server set up for my client to test with, but I don't know how to actually send/receive this data, as most examples in the axis samples are very basic int/string parameters (send/receive). The bidbuy example seems to send java objects, does that mean axis is responsible for turning that into base SOAP data types? I see that the client uses: // register the PurchaseOrder class QName poqn = new QName("http://www.soapinterop.org/Bid";, "PurchaseOrder"); Class cls = PurchaseOrder.class; call.registerTypeMapping(cls, poqn, BeanSerializerFactory.class, BeanDeserializerFactory.class); ... call.addParameter( "PO", poqn, ParameterMode.IN ); Will I have to do something similar? That looks a bit complex for what I want to do? It also only gets back a string, I want to get back key/value pairs. Any tips/code examples welcome! thanks, Scott
