how to get rid of ArrayOfString classes from jax-ws client code

When generating the client code from a WSDL using wsimport I am getting lot of ArrayOf*** classes. I want to make sure that I get String[] instead of ArrayOfString.

What external customization needs to be done to achieve this?

I am not sure if this is what you are asking, but if you are seeing these in your xml response, you are probably misusing the methods in the ObjectFactory class generated by JAX-WS.

For example, the two lines of code below 

factory.createArrayOfNameListItem(factory.createArrayOfNameListItem());

factory.createMyDataItemNames(arrayOfNameListItem);

produce objects of the same type: 

JAXBElement<ArrayOfNameListItem> objects

however 

factory.createArrayOfNameListItem(factory.createArrayOfNameListItem());

serialises / renders as: 

<ArrayOfNameListItem>
<Names>
  <NameListItem>
    <FirstName>
      Homer
    </FirstName>
    <LastName>
      Simpson
    </LastName>
  </NameListItem>
</Names>
</ArrayOfNameListItem>

and 

factory.createMyDataItemNames(arrayOfNameListItem);

serialises / renders as:

<Names>
  <NameListItem>
    <FirstName>
      Homer
    </FirstName>
    <LastName>
      Simpson
    </LastName>
  </NameListItem>
</Names>

Hope this helps someone.

As of now I have done a workaround by modifying the ArrayOfXXX object in to XXX[] by using reflection in an utility method.
