Ant,

i do not agree: mechanism for mapping types is required to be able to solve such issues as mapping between Java property name start with a capital letter and XML element name with XML lowercase letter.

As no one is suggesting any way to overcome this,

i have suggested adding WSIFTypeDesc and extending functionality WSIFService.mapType().

I'm becoming more tempted
to have the WSIF AXIS provider used a patched version of the AXIS bean
serializer which ignores the case of the 1st character of an element name.

i think that we should not create and attribute patches or patched version of AXIS (or make WSIF dependent on it).

thanks,
