[AXIS-2454] Using Arrays results in malformed XML ([0,unbounded]) - Using Doc-Literal Wrapped

Description

Axis 1.3 is encoding my Array-enabled messages with malformed/broken XML (example below). This problem has been reported before in slightly modified ways, but for the CastorSerializer (which I am not using). For more on that see bug #AXIS-2135 in this system.

I am probably using standard serializers, as I'm just trying to return an unbounded array from the service. My service uses the Doc-Literal/Wrapped style. Returning an array results in the following type of return structure:

<myType[0,unbounded]>
<stuff ... />
</myType[0,unbounded]>
<myType[0,unbounded]>
<stuff ... />
</myType[0,unbounded]>

(A full example is below.)

The WSDL snippet that produces this is:

<xsd:element name="getAlarmListResponse">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ref="tns:alarm" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:element name="alarm" nillable="true">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="alarmTime" type="xsd:long" nillable="false"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="latestEventTime" type="xsd:long" nillable="false"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="lastUpdateTime" type="xsd:long" nillable="false"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

Thanks for any help you can provide with this. We have a major production implementation that is stopped while we attempt to work around this issue.
