XmlObject parameter to XmlRPC call

[Philippe Langevin]

Hi,

I'm trying to pass an org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject as a parameter to a call to 
an apache XmlRpc server.  The server fail and generate the exception at the 
bottom of this message.

Some info :
- Server under tomcat6
- Using a custom Handler Mapping
- Calling through interfaces (With the mapping)

Actually, the mapping works for many other functions with

Here is the handler mapping initialisation :
protected XmlRpcHandlerMapping newXmlRpcHandlerMapping() throws XmlRpcException 
{
      PropertyHandlerMapping phm = new PropertyHandlerMapping() ;

      phm.addHandler(ctec.TVLMManager.XmlRpc.TestServer.class.getName(), 
ctec.TVLMManager.XmlRpc.server.TestServerImpl.class) ;
      phm.addHandler(ctec.TVLMManager.XmlRpc.TVLMServer.class.getName(), 
ctec.TVLMManager.XmlRpc.server.TVLMServerImpl.class) ;

      return phm ;
}

I also tried adding a custom TypeFactory in the newXmlRpcServer(...) but the 
getParser(...) method is never called.  On the client side, the 
getSerializer(...) is called.
protected XmlRpcServletServer newXmlRpcServer(ServletConfig pConfig) throws 
XmlRpcException {
      XmlRpcServletServer server = super.newXmlRpcServer(pConfig);
      server.setTypeFactory(new CustomTypeFactory(server)) ;

      return server ;
}

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Invalid parameter or result type:
