On the client all I do is register the serializer for my object.
// prepare the mapping registry
registry = new SOAPMappingRegistry();
//QName qname = new QName("http://www.stringservice/xsd";, "StringBean");
QName qname = new
QName("http://www.themindelectric.com/package/service.common/";,
"StringBean");
BeanSerializer serializer = new BeanSerializer();
registry.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC, qname, StringBean.class,
serializer, serializer);
