axis2 arraylist/array issues

Hi,

I'm using axis2 1.7.0SNAPSHOT and finding two problems.

First when I'm having ArrayList in my class, for example:

public class VEntryData{
    protected List<ViewEntryItem> items;

    public List<ViewEntryItem> getItems() {
        if (items == null) {
            items = new ArrayList<ViewEntryItem>();
        }
        return this.items;
    }
}

My service functions look like this:

public VEntryData getVED(){
    return ved;
}

public void setVED(VEntryData ved){
    this.ved = ved;
}

In this scenario the getVED() works fine and when I do setVED() from the client I pass a valid list but on the server side I get null for items field.

//========================================================================================
In the second scenario I use plain array:

public class VEntryData{
    protected ViewEntryItem[] items;

    public ViewEntryItem[] getItems() {
        if (this.items == null) {
            return new ViewEntryItem[ 0 ] ;
        }
        ViewEntryItem[] retVal = new ViewEntryItem[this.items.length] ;
        System.arraycopy(this.items, 0, retVal, 0, this.items.length);
        return (retVal);
    }

    public ViewEntryItem getItems(int idx) {
        if (this.items == null) {
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();
        }
        return this.items[idx];
    }

    public int getRedLength() {
        if (this.items == null) {
            return  0;
        }
        return this.items.length;
    }
}

My service functions are the same as in previous case. In this scenario the getVED() produces the error:
