Problems connecting via SOAP

Question

I am currently trying to connect to our OCS server via SOAP.
The example scripts in the documentation (Java-example for the RemoteLoginManager, p.10 of the Content Services Application Developer's Guide ) and the ones in the SDK sadly dont work.
We tracked it down to http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-7321 to be the likliest cause for that.
The returned envelope while trying to connect contains TWO attributes of identical name causing a SaxException client-side.
Any insight on if we did a misconfiguration?
Any tips on how to connect to OCS via SOAP the simplest way?
Thanks,
Kristian

Hi Matt,
you are right - we are using SOAPpy / ZSI and the duplicated attributes are
exactly like the issue on apache.org.
We are just trying to figure out which AXIS version is running on the
server and will post it as soon as we know :)
Our SOAP envelopes look like this:
outgoing: --------------------------------------------------
