[jboss-user] [JBossWS] - SimpleDeserializer error on returning complex type

Hi, I have exposed a stateless ejb3 bean as a WS and it has a method returning a complex type. Signature: @WebMethod | public MapBean getMap(String test) The class MapBean just has 2 string members along with their getters/setters. I'm using an axis WS client for it (using the Call interface) but invoking the Web service gives me the below error: Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize. | at org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.SimpleDeserializer.onStartChild(SimpleDeserializer.java:145) | at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContext.startElement(DeserializationContext.java:1035) | at org.apache.axis.message.SAX2EventRecorder.replay(SAX2EventRecorder.java:165) | at org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.publishToHandler(MessageElement.java:1141) | at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.deserialize(RPCElement.java:236) | at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.getParams(RPCElement.java:384) | at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2448) | ... 3 more What's wierd is, it works without the error if I change the binding from document/wrapped to document/BARE but in that case the input arguements take the form '<arg0 xsi:type='xsd:string' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>nabble</arg0&g... even inside the webmethod! Kindly help me here.
