Wierd problem with result always being empty

[p0six]

I've been trying to get by this all day. I have a web server defined to return an Object of type Arrivalbooking. The Arrivalbooking class is generated using xjc from a predefined DTD. Whenever I execute the web service the method executes perfectly and returns a valid Arrivalbooking with data in it. However ,the result is always empty.

Anyone have any ideas?

Here's the basic source for the web service

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)
@ServiceMode(value=Service.Mode.PAYLOAD)
//@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
public class RecordGridJSE implements RecordGrid
{
@WebMethod
@WebResult(name="arrivalsboard", partName="arrivalsboard")
@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)
public Arrivalsboard getDefaultRecordGrid()
throws RemoteException
{
return getRecordGrid(null, null, (SimpleDateFormat) null);
}


@WebMethod
@WebResult(name="arrivalsboard", partName="arrivalsboard")
@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)
public Arrivalsboard getRecordGrid(@WebParam(name="start") Date start, @WebParam(name="end") Date end, @WebParam(name="dateFormat") String dateFormat)
throws RemoteException
{
Arrivalbooking arrivalbooking = new Arrivalbooking();
.
.
.
return arrivalbooking;
}
}


The source for Arrivalbooking, Event was also generated with xjc

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {
"event"
})
@XmlRootElement(name = "arrivalsboard")
public class Arrivalsboard {

protected List event;

/**

public List getEvent() {
if (event == null) {
event = new ArrayList();
}
return this.event;
}
}
