[jboss-user] [JBossWS] - Re: Soap service returning complex objects(Such as hashmaps)

This absolutely works so long as it's a simple Map with simple objects(like strings) as key/values.  But this seems to break down when you've got nested maps.

here's a "simple" map with just a string key and string value.

  | <env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>
  |  <env:Header>
  |   <seam:conversationId xmlns:seam='http://www.jboss.org/seam/webservice'>6</seam:conversationId>
  |  </env:Header>
  |  <env:Body>
  |   <n1:getHashMapResponse xmlns:n1='http://webService.core.ictr.umn.edu/'>
  |    <return>
  |     <realMap>
  |      <entry>
  |       <key xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:type='xs:string'>mike</key>
  |       <value xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:type='xs:string'>kohout</value>
  |      </entry>
  |     </realMap>
  |    </return>
  |   </n1:getHashMapResponse>
  |  </env:Body>
  | </env:Envelope>
  | 

here's the results from a call that returns an list of Maps/MyMaps, where each of the Maps/MyMaps has a property that also contains a list of MyMaps.  So it's an ArrayList where each MyMap can contain a nested ArrayList.  
It's still returning an empty response.


  | <env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>
  |  <env:Header>
  |   <seam:conversationId xmlns:seam='http://www.jboss.org/seam/webservice'>5</seam:conversationId>
  |  </env:Header>
  |  <env:Body>
  |   <n1:getSubjectsResponse xmlns:n1='http://webService.core.ictr.umn.edu/'>
  |    <return/>
  |   </n1:getSubjectsResponse>
  |  </env:Body>
  | </env:Envelope>
  | 

Any other suggestions to make this work?
I'm using maps and lists to avoid making DTOs.  Maybe at this point it would just be easier to make the damn DTOs.
