Hi Arun,

Since Collections will be supported, does this mean that all of the
implementation classes (ArrayList, LinkedList, HashMap, etc.) will
be supported in JAX-RPC FCS?

The 0.8 version of the JAX-RPC specs does not mention Collections
in the section on supported Java types. Does this mean that our
support of Collections is implementation-specific?

Thanks,

Dale
