Cannot send complex type as method parameter

Question

Cannot send complex type as method parameter
Hi!
I'm using a kSOAP 1.2 client and i'm having trouble executing a method that takes an object
of complex type as parameter:
method:
public void addSquareDetail(SquareDetail sd){/stuff}
-SquareDetail is a java bean class that implements KvmSerializable
- a mapping was added to classmap
-legacy namespace is not an issue (i AM able to execute the following methods successfully
over kSOAP):
-getting one SquareDetail object
-getting a vector of squareDetail objects
Here's how i'm trying to call the 'send' method:
     ClassMap classMap = new ClassMap();
classMap.addMapping("urn:SquareWebService/types", "SquareDetail", (new
SquareDetail()).getClass());
System.out.println("add one SquareDetail");
request = new SoapObject(serviceURN, "addSquareDetail");
sd = new SquareDetail();
request.addProperty("SquareDetail_1", sd);
tx = new HttpTransport(this.endPointURL, "addSquareDetail");
tx.debug = true;
tx.setClassMap(classMap);
tx.call(request); //exception here
(above:)
private String endPointURL = "http://localhost:8080/SquareWebService/SquareWebService";
protected static final String serviceURN = "urn:SquareWebService/wsdl";
Error(from server, Sun ONE App Server7):
SoapFault - faultcode: 'env:Server' faultstring: 'Internal Server Error (deserialization
error: unexpected XML reader state. expected: END but found: START: someInt)' faultactor:
'null' detail: null
Here are request/response dumps:
-request---------

<SOAP-ENV:Body SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

</SquareDetail_1>
</addSquareDetail>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
response------------

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

e>env:Server</faultcode><faultstring>Internal Server Error (deserialization error:

someInt)</faultstring></env:Fault></env:Body></env:Envelope>
So, apparently, the request message is not understood by the server. what exactly is it
missing, and how can i add/correct that? (my guess in SquareDetail_1 xmlns="" should be
"urn:SquareWebService/types", although it's just a guess AND i don't know how to make kSOAP
get it in there)
I'm not sure what kind of SOAP parser my app server utilizes, but i'm guessing it's an
apache product (how can i tell?). I also have a WSDL file available, should anyone be
willing to look at it, please let me know
thanks

Don't know if it will help but Can you check if the serializable object has a public empty no args constructor with an empty call to super()
Also make sure that a type mapping registry is added with a reference to the serializable object in it.
Please paste The WSDL as well
