Actually, my main method returns XML to the Client in a JAVA StreamSource class ( not DH ARRAY ). AFAIK, Before leaving the server, this java class is fed to the AXIS run-time on the server for encoding/ serialization via AXIS defaults for the parm entry in the wsdd below-
see <<returnType="ns1:StreamSource" >> I can only guess what your issues with C# may be. I did not solve any problems not involving the simple AXIS / SOAP / XERCES platform that you get with the download of the AXIS toolkit and examples. My 2 cents is that disparate tools generating the WSDL ( XML Apache AXIS versus MS dotNET ) may entail incompatible syntax and may lead to problems like "how come dotNet tools don't understand WSDL generated by AXIS". If I had this problem, one strategy might be to determine whether i need to brute-force a Common flavor of WSDL that's recognized by both Apache and by dotNet and that does not cause either one to burp. Rob, Did you face any interoperability issues when returning the DataHandler array? I am most specifically interested in C# if possible. I couldn't get a C# client to be generated for my web service that returns a DataHandler.
