Axis: SimpleDeserializer error

Question

Hi,
I am getting an error "SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize" when i try to set the style of webservice to document literal and access it via webservice client. Also the service works fine when the style was rpc.
Any idea on how to resolve this issue. Am using Axis1.2.x version.
Thanks,
Sathish

Hello,
I am trying to invoke the web service-
String endpoint ="http://www.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo";
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call)service.createCall();     
call.setSOAPActionURI("");
call.setUseSOAPAction(true);
     //call.setOperationName(new QName(endpoint,"registerService"));
     call.setOperationName(new QName(endpoint,"ListOfContinentsByName"));
     call.registerTypeMapping(WSClientTest.class, new QName(endpoint,"ListOfContinentsByName"),
new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(WSClientTest.class, new QName(endpoint,"ListOfContinentsByName")),
new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(WSClientTest.class, new QName(endpoint,"ListOfContinentsByName")));
          //call.OPERATION_STYLE_PROPERTY ="document";
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL("http://webservices.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso") );
     // String ret =(String)call.invoke(new Object[]{new String("abot")});
     org.oorsprong.www.websamples_countryinfo.TContinent[] ret =( org.oorsprong.www.websamples_countryinfo.TContinent[])call.invoke(new Object[]{});
but getting the exception as-
org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which
is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.
