Richard I'm sure you're correct about the int size being at the root of the problem. However, shouldn't the SoapServer component behave properly (i.e. return correct numeric values for the given schema type) regardless of the system architecture? It's pretty clear that the overflow is inside SoapServer. I've sent an example of the behavior to the list. It clearly shows that 'xsd:long' is overflowing. If I understand correctly, 'xsd:long' is supposed to be about +/- 2^63. The underlying system architecture shouldn't matter.

According to my limited understanding of schemas, xs:long types would need 64 bits to represent. However, SoapServer doesn't seem to recognize that. Wouldn't that be considered a defect?
