Yes. That's exactly what I needed except for the .net client...Is anyone out there already achieved this? ie, use a .net client to serialize/deserialize a custom (javabean) value object through Axis BeanSerializer on the server side? Or if you know of any product that has an example of this sort?

If you make sure your value objects adhere to the javabean spec, you can use Axis' custom BeanSerializer and BeanDeserializer to automatically encode/decode them for you. I do this and it works fine. Initially the cvs version of xdoclet (1.2) was not making "true" javabeans for the value objects, but I submitted a patch that has long since been applied that fixes that. As for the WSDL, adding "?WSDL" to your service URL creates it for you dynamically with JBoss.net/Axis. Granted, I haven't tested this with a .net client yet...
