Can we support Map/HashMap in the webservice as one of internal parameters?

Question

Hi all,
I have written a simple webservice. Which just prints the content of the input.
public class ServiceClass {
     public MyVO printContents(MyVO vo) {
          System.out.println(vo.getName());
          System.out.println(vo.getParams());
          return vo;
public class MyVO {
     private String name;
     private HashMap<String, Serializable> params;
     public String getName() {
          return name;
     public void setName(String name) {
          this.name = name;
     public HashMap<String, Serializable> getParams() {
          return params;
     public void setParams(HashMap<String, Serializable> params) {
          this.params = params;
I am using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.(Version: Helios Service Release 1) for generating stubs like this :
New wizard , webservice, Selecting the server runtime (tomcat 6) and webruntime as Axis2. And clicking finish.
It generates the project with name TestClient. And inside that 2 classes : ServiceClassCallbackHandler and ServiceClassStub.
Once WebService is generated its also opening one JSP (WebService explorer) . In that I can see the WebService and clicking on basicwebservice it shows UI where I can input my data.
But its not showing if I can add key/value for map.
I am not sure how to test this?
More importantly can I test my webservice that it prints the passed data?
How to pass the test data to this webservice?
Or how to pass MyVO object to the webservice?
Thanks in advance.
