Oh, I forgot one important note. We cannot set up the .NET Web Service to use Rpc Encoding (so the xsi:type attribute is added). It must remain as Document (no xsi:type attributes). Thanks again.

If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I am using the latest Apache Java libraries and connecting to a .NET beta 2 MS server. I have successfully written a Java client to use a simple Add function which only returns one element in the result XML element. The method I am using now returns the below XML. In the result element there are three elements those elements also containing nested elements. When I use the standard code, listed in the Apache user manual (under user guide/Interoperability), to set custom mappings for dealing with the "xsi:type" not being included with the .NET response. I have no problems with a simple one element returning method. The problem is when I try to set deserializers for each element in another method which has the response listed below. If I add StringDeserializers for each attribute and element in the below XML in my client I still get the dreaded, "no serializer found to deserialize a "myNameSpace:device_getCurrentMessageResult". That is the element (in the below listing) which contains the three other elements. Even if I add a StringDeserializer for "device_getCurrenMessageResult" I still get the same error. If I only add a StringDeserializer for the "device_getCurrenMessageResult" I still get the error. Can anyone help me with how to correctly setup the deserializers for a response like the one below? Remember I need to manually add to the SOAPMappingRegistry since I am using a .NET server with the Apache libraries which require "xsi:type" normally.
