Neither.

WSDLs don't decode anything.

The Microsoft and Java platforms respectively encode to XML from their native types, and decode from XML to their native types. The WSDL is the schema that guides the process.

The question of whether one's ArrayList is compatible with another's or even whether either uses ArrayList at all for a given element in the WSDL is completely immaterial. The important thing is that each platform correctly produces a semantically useful XML document to send to the other.

By way of example, if the documents fake out a call from Java to

ArrayList <String> names = service.obtainNames( criteria );

it makes no difference whatsoever if the Microsoft end used an ArrayList to encode the response, save that the result looks like the sort of XML the Java end expects and can correctly decode into its own ArrayList.

It's the XML.
