Is it possible to call a web service with a complex type as a parameter.
Say I have a method:

myMethod(ComplexBean cb){
....
}

ComplexBean is made up of strings, floats, Collections, and possibly other beans. Is it possible to wrap this method in a web service?
I'm using Axis to implement the service. I assume that the client will use JAX-RPC or JAX-WS.

If you intend the web service to be usable by clients other than Java, you should figure out some way to compose the actual request from types more generally supported. It will make life a LOT simpler.

You sould be able to invoke using the complex bean. I had tried in Weblogic 9. using the XML Bean. It works
