It works fine for me if I have any number of functions with a return type of  primitive data type. I am using eclipse, I tried tomcat 5,6,7/glassfish and am using Axis.
I created a new project right click on my abc.java and select web service I selected to generate both client and server but it complaints about me trying to return object, Arraylist  I am trying to do this as through my function I am trying to fetch data through database . I will return data in a resultset form and am not sure how I should return it to be able to make it work. Urgent. ASAP PLEASE


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.A CLass with methor of return type arraylist
2.right click and try to create web service
3. The method "test" on the service class "test.test" uses a data type, "java.util.ArrayList", that is not supported by the JAX-RPC specification. Instances of the type may not serialize or deserialize correctly. Loss of data or complete failure of the Web service may result.

Maybe this is WTP?

This is a JAX-RPC limitation.  Try wrapping your collection types.  Or, use JAX-WS.
