Description

There's a strange bug in axis 1.2RC2, dealing with array of beans.

The signature of the called method is :
public ArrayBean echoArrayBean(ArrayBean param);

ArrayBean is defined like this :
public class ArrayBean implements Serializable {
   private String stringData;
   private SimpleBean[] simpleBeanArrayData;
... accessors ...
}

And SimpleBean :
public class SimpleBean implements Serializable {
   private String stringData;
   private int intData;
... accessors ...
}

The corresponding part of the WSDL generated by Axis follows (in different namespaces, but we don't care here) :
  <element name="echoArrayBean">
   <complexType>
    <sequence>
     <element name="in0" type="tns1:ArrayBean"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
  </element>
  <complexType name="ArrayOf_tns1_SimpleBean">
   <sequence>
    <element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="item" type="tns1:SimpleBean"/>
   </sequence>
  </complexType>
  <complexType name="SimpleBean">
   <sequence>
    <element name="intData" type="xsd:int"/>
    <element name="stringData" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
   </sequence>
  </complexType>
  <complexType name="ArrayBean">
   <sequence>
    <element name="simpleBeanArrayData" nillable="true" type="impl:ArrayOf_tns1_SimpleBean"/>
    <element name="stringData" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
   </sequence>
  </complexType>

What's important here is that "item" is correctly specified as an element of Array_Of_tns1_SimpleBean.

When I try to invoke this operation with a Weblogic client, I get the following exception :
java.rmi.RemoteException: SOAP Fault:javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in test.bean.SimpleBean - item

The corresponding part in the soap message is :
<n1:echoArrayBean><n1:in0><n2:simpleBeanArrayData xsi:type="n1:ArrayOf_tns1_SimpleBean">
<n1:item xsi:type="n2:SimpleBean"><n2:intData>-123456</n2:intData><n2:stringData>ces données sontcomplexes [à@}]</n2:stringData></n1:item>
<n1:item xsi:type="n2:SimpleBean"><n2:intData>-123456</n2:intData><n2:stringData>ces données sontcomplexes [à@}]</n2:stringData></n1:item>
</n2:simpleBeanArrayData><n3:stringData>data</n3:stringData></n1:in0></n1:echoArrayBean>

This message seems to be correct, according to the WSDL. Yet, Axis doesn't like it :/

Note : we just tried with an Axis client: same soap message, same behaviour.
