some java serialisable components NOT SUPPORTED in WAS WebServices

[Former Member]

apparently some of the serializable java classes are not supported by Web Services in WAS. We encountered the following problems using the following:

1. Collection

2. Hashtable

3. Map

4. Properties

5. Timestamp

6. Set

can someone tell me

- whether this is truly something that is not supported?

OR

- it theoretically is supported and I need a patch or can be sorted out thru a config?
