The workarounds in Apache SOAP 2.2 allow it to receive envelopes, typically containing arrays, with href attributes on elements, and to receive elements with no xsi:type attribute. The href is handled transparently to you. The absence of xsi:type requires that you provide a mapping between the element qualified name and a Java type, so that elements can be deserialized.
The current build also allows you to send elements without xsi:type from Apache SOAP. If you need maximum interop, I would suggest you check out Axis, and possibly post a question to [EMAIL PROTECTED] regarding WAS 403.
