That completely defeats the interoperability of web services - if we 
just pass arround serialised objects, then we can only talk to 
servers/clients using compattible java objects.

I think what you need to do is write an Axis serializer / deserializer 
that understands lists and add that to your soap service - it seems odd 
that Axis doesn't come with one bundled like it does for Map.
