What return type are you using? We have found that with flex/axis, returning arrays causes Flex to choke. We instead return java.util.List instances and Flex can handle the arrays much better. The WSDL is only slightly different but we don't see Flex mangling the array data like it was previously. I'm not sure if this applies to you but it helped us tremendously. The downside so far is that we're getting ComplexString instances instead of numeric and boolean data types. It's easy enough to work around temporarily. As a note, we are also taking this up with Adobe to see if we can get this really fixed.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Beta 3 WebService Result

Actually this is looking more like a bug. I have submitted an example
application to Adobe. All my items are all at the same level in the
xml but flex is interpretting it like the first item is the parent for
the rest of the items.

Here is the xml returned by my webservice. Flex interprets it like the
london item is the parent of the other 4 items. >From what I can see
they are all at the same level. But then I am a newb to this xml stuff.
