Bean within a Bean in Document/Literal WS Causing Deserializ

[dhomick]

Using JBoss 4.0.2:

org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Also, it seems that there are lots of problems with document/literal WS in the JBossWS forums and elsewhere. Is it safe to use JBossWS document/literal in a production environment?
