Problems deserializing java.util.Calendar objects

[David Robison]

I have an xml type the returns (as one of its elements) a xsd:dateTime 
field which is translated to a java.util.Calendar object in the java 
code. When I try to call the axis service that returns the type 
containing the xsd:dateTime field, I get the following error:

SOAP1: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Unregistered type:  class 
java.util.Calendar
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:

java.util.Calendar

I've tied putting a type mapping in my wsdd as follows:
     <typeMapping
       xmlns:ns="http://www.mimosa.org/TechXMLV3-0";
       qname="ns:dateTimeWithoutTimezone"
       type="java:java.util.Calendar"
       serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.CalendarSerializerFactory"
       
deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.CalendarDeserializerFactory"
       encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
     />

but this does not seem to help.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance,
David Robison
