Yes. JAX-RPC 1.0 RI supports a subset of Java collection classes.

So far, there has been no interop testing for collection classes in
the SOAPBuilders community. Each implementation uses its own XML
mapping of Collection classes. There is a plan to do some interop
testing for HashMap and Vector in Round V of SOAPBuilders interop
testing.
The lack of standard XML representation for collection classes
across SOAP implementations is the reason for lack of interop
today.

Do you mean Apache/Axis with Apache/Axis? Yes, this should work
for collection classes because this is across the same product.
The same way JAX-RPC to JAX-RPC RI will work for collection classes.
Issue is around the interoperability.
