Got it. Yes the RI maps it to java.util.Map.

Do i have to register this type with axis in my client before i use it? I
get the following exception trying to deserialize a response.

org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer defined for array type

even though the MapEntry class generated by wsdl2java is in classpath and
has getSerializer and getDeserializer methods which return BeanSerializer
objects.

Thanks

Yes, because there is no 'standard' Qualified name for the Java Map type.
So WSDL2Java is just creating a type based on the XML Schema in the WSDL.

Since the namespace is http://java.sun.com/jax-rpc-ri/internal, this gets
turned in to the package name "com.sun.java.jax_rpc_ri.internal".

I'll bet that the RI recognizes this QName and turns it in to a
java.utils.Map type (HashMap?)

I think we do similar things with Map Schema we emit in the axis.apache.org
namespace.....

I'm trying to generate java code from the attached wsdl. WSDL2Java creates
the following code

package opwv;

public interface UserPreferences extends java.rmi.Remote {
    public com.sun.java.jax_rpc_ri.internal.MapEntry[]
getPreferences(opwv.Crede
ntials credentials_1, java.lang.String string_2, java.lang.String[]
arrayOfStrin
g_3) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, opwv.MMSException,
opwv.InvalidArgumentExc
eption, opwv.InvalidCredentialsException, opwv.UserAccountException;
    public void updatePreferences(opwv.Credentials credentials_1,
java.lang.Stri
ng string_2, com.sun.java.jax_rpc_ri.internal.MapEntry[] map_3) throws
java.rmi.
RemoteException, opwv.MMSException, opwv.InvalidArgumentException,
opwv.InvalidC
redentialsException, opwv.UserAccountException;
}

It creates type com.sun.java.jax_rpc_ri.internal.MapEntry[] for Maps. Is my
implementation supposed to use this internal jaxrpc type instead of regular
java.util.Map?

Thanks
