How to serialize collections (language builtins) in ValueObjects?

Question

I use the weblogic ant tasks servicegen and clientgen to generate webservices. I'd like to use the same ValueObject for the client as for the server. The ValueObject exchanged over the webservice contains a field "addresses" of type ArrayList. clientgen generates a field "addresses" of type Object[] in the client ValueObject. Does anybody know how to tell the clientgen task to generate a field "addresses" of Type List (or ArrayList) instead of Object[] in the client valueobject?
Here's the ValueObject on the server (i'd expect the same ValueObject on the client side):
public class Employee implements Serializable
private ArrayList addresses;
public Employee() { }
public ArrayList getAddresses() {
return addresses
public void setAddresses(ArrayList aobj[]) {
addresses = aobj;
In the WSDL everything still looks fine (field "addresses" has type ArrayList):
<xsd:element xmlns:tp="java:language_builtins.util" type="tp:ArrayList" name="addresses" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" maxOccurs="1"></xsd:element>
The generated client ValueObject:
public class Employee implements Serializable
private Object addresses[];
public Employee() { }
public Object[] getAddresses() {
return addresses
public void setAddresses(Object aobj[]) {
addresses = aobj;
Here the standard clientgen task I use (as a additional informaiton):
<clientgen ear="${build}/${ear_file}" warName="${war_file}" packageName="${package_name}" clientJar="${build}/${client_jar_file}" />

Answer 1

useServerTypes="true" helps indeed! Now the generated client ValueObject contains a field "addresses" of Type ArrayList. Thanks!
<clientgen
ear="${build}/${ear_file}"
warName="${war_file}"
packageName="${package_name}"
clientJar="${build}/${client_jar_file}"
useServerTypes="true" />
