Hi Bobby, so far this is my analysis:
my client has been compiled with wscompile 1.1.2_01 build R40, but was running into Sun WebServer 6.1 JES 2005Q1 Solaris 10 without JWSDP1.5 installed.
Well, it seems this WebServer is not being shipped with the latest version of jax-rpc, and probably it contains the version with the ampersand bug. Till a few days ago it was not possbile to install JWSDP1.5 on this WebServer due to a bug in the installer: now JWSDP1.6 has fixed both the installer problem and the ampersand bug. :)
