The project I'm working on is a billing interface for a Video on Demand system. When I send in my purchase object, I get back a TResult object which consisists of a return code (int) and errorText (String). Deserialization of this object works flawlessly.
But when making a query to find out how much available credit a customer has I get back both a TResult and a complex type of a TCustomerFinancial (see SOAP response below). It contains an array object called TMetadataList. So I thought I needed to add the following to my client-config.wsdd:
<typeMapping qname="ns:TMetadataList" xmlns:ns="urn:GlobalSOAPTyes" type="java:com.ncube.vod.bps.billing.obi.TMetadata[]"
serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArraySerializerFactory"
deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
This hasn't had any effect. I still receive the dreaded "Bad types" exception:

The WSDL defines TCustomerFinancial as:
<xs:complexType name="TCustomerFinancial">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="RemainingCreditLimit" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="CurrentBalance" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="MonthlyCreditLimit" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="LastBillAmt" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="LastBillDate" type="xs:dateTime"/>
<xs:element name="LastCycleCloseDate" type="xs:dateTime"/>
<xs:element name="LastPaymentAmt" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="LastPaymentDate" type="xs:dateTime"/>
<xs:element name="TotalBalanceDue" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="Due30" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="Due60" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="Due90" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="Due120" type="xs:double"/>
<xs:element name="MetadataList" type="ns2:TMetadataList"/>
</xs:sequence>And TMetadataList is defined:

TMetatdata itself is:
<xs:complexType name="TMetadata">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Tag" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Value" type="xs:anyType"/>
</xs:sequence>
