When submitted the Field Names "go through" the Merge Data is empty

>>mergeData

is not shown in your code - where do you initialize it?

>>values[0] = "Row1Value1";

In the above, btw, 'values' is redundant. You can do

fieldValues[0][0] = "Row1Value1"; //etc

You may find, as is most the case where serialization is  involved, only the no-arg ctor gets called

I am calling the no arg constructors.

Can you post the actual error message you're getting?

there is not an error generated, the problem is the resulting soap message has a "" instead of the values from the array

Ok,

I have more information attached is a trace dump one from .net that works and the java that does not.

Java:

<ns1:FieldNames>
<ns2:string xmlns:ns2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">Header1</ns2:string>
<ns3:string xmlns:ns3="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">Header2</ns3:string>
<ns4:string xmlns:ns4="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">Header3</ns4:string>

MergeData has not been deserialized properly. Probably for the reasons i already gave you

Sorry - ignore that last comment

Soap end point class

I modified the serilizer above and got the following

</ns1:Merge>
</ns1:ProductionOptions>
<ns1:Type>ImageAndRecord</ns1:Type>
</ns1:Job>
</request>
</SubmitJob>
</soapenv:Body>

Ok I have done some more research, the problem is apache axis does not support multi-dimensional arrays which explains why it is not serializing properly. Does anyone know of a sample custom serializer for multidimesional arrays.
