Hi!
I'm trying to implement some simple services that return custom objects. No problem if I do it via the Call.registerTypeMapping(...) method, e.g., as shown in the "BidBuy" sample provided with the Axis download. HOWEVER when I comment out the #registerTypeMapping() in the code and try to do the same thing via a <typeMapping /> tag --- or <beanMapping />, since it's a very simple custom object --- Axis starts insisting that it can't find the deserializer. Well, it finds BeanDeserializerFactory just fine if I pass the class object in the code, but not if I specify org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory in the WSDD. (I shouldn't even have to name this object anyway since it's the default, I believe.)
Has anyone else hit this one, or does anyone know what I'm missing or doing wrong?
Much appreciated.

Make sure that the simple object you are trying to pass is really a bean. It should have a no args constructor and a get and set method for each and every param it has inside it. If it does not have this, the bean serializer/deserializer don't work. Turn on the axis deugging and see what deserializer it is trying to use for that class.
