Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,
We are writing Web Service using Java, AXIS and Tomcat.
One of our interface methods has ArrayList as an argument. Eclipse with WTP generates wsdl and Web Service server.
The client of the WS written in C++ using gSOAP. It was generated from wsdl. When I tried to execute remote the method, I got "cannot find deserializer for ArrayOf_xsd_AnyType ... " error, i.e. AXIS doesn't know to how to parse XML into ArrayList object.
I wrote some simple serializer and deserializer, added it to deploy.wsdd, but AXIS still doesn't see it.

What the problem may be?
What is the right way to work with ArrayList?
