After stepping through the Axis source, I found the solution to my problem.
And I think I found a bug. Or 3 bugs. I'm not sure which.
OperationDesc.getOutputParamByQName(QName) calls ParameterDesc.getQName().
But ParameterDesc.getQName() returns the variable "name". For my object,
"name" was "CustomerFinancial" and its typeQName was
"{urn:uOBI_Intf}TCustomerFinancial" and therefore didn't match.
I question that ParameterDesc.getQName() is returning 'name'. That's one
potential bug.
Or perhaps OperationDesc.getOutputParamByQName(QName) should call
pnext.getTypeQName() instead. That's a 2nd potential bug.
I solved my problem by correcting the incorrect addParameter() calls in my
stub that was created by WSDL2Java, which could be considered the third bug.
oper.addParameter(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("", "CustomerFinancial"),
new javax.xml.namespace.QName("urn:uOBI_Intf", "TCustomerFinancial"),
com.ncube.vod.bps.billing.obi.TCustomerFinancial.class,
org.apache.axis.description.ParameterDesc.INOUT, false, false);
had to become
oper.addParameter(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("urn:uOBI_Intf",
"TCustomerFinancial"), new javax.xml.namespace.QName("urn:uOBI_Intf",
"TCustomerFinancial"),
com.ncube.vod.bps.billing.obi.TCustomerFinancial.class,
org.apache.axis.description.ParameterDesc.INOUT, false, false);
The specific characteristics of this is that the call returned an object and
had an INOUT parameter. The return was handled correctly, but the destClass
and deserializer was defaulted to the return type when the name could not be
matched up.
