Flex inserts "item" tag for a list in my application request while Posting to a service

[sandeeprajsingh tandon]

Hi,
A very very wierd issue. I am working on Flex 3.3
I have this request from mxml,

<mx:HTTPService id="httpTree3" method="POST" url="SomeUrl" resultFormat="e4x" result="treeLoaded(event)" fault="">
<mx:request>
	<MasterRequest
		<clientId>1</clientId>
		<description>Some Desc</description>
		<ApproverGroups>
			<EachApproverGroup>			    
				<eachapproverGrpId>14</eachapproverGrpId>
				<eachApproverGrpSeq>1</eachApproverGrpSeq>				
			</EachApprovalGroup>
			<EachApproverGroup>			    
				<eachapproverGrpId>15</eachapproverGrpId>
				<eachApproverGrpSeq>2</eachApproverGrpSeq>				
			</EachApprovalGroup>
		</ApproverGroups>
                  </MasterRequest>			

</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>

But when i post this, the request xml converts to

<MasterRequest
	<clientId>1</clientId>
	<description>Some Desc</description>
	<ApproverGroups>
		<EachApproverGroup>
                                           <item> //WHERE DID THIS COME FROM AND HOW DO I REMOVE THIS.			    
		                 <eachapproverGrpId>14</eachapproverGrpId>
			<eachApproverGrpSeq>1</eachApproverGrpSeq>
                                           </item>				
                                            <item>
			<eachapproverGrpId>15</eachapproverGrpId>
			<eachApproverGrpSeq>2</eachApproverGrpSeq>				
                                              <item>     
		</EachApprovalGroup>
	</ApproverGroups>
 </MasterRequest>		

Due to this, my webservice fails as it is not able to recieve anything inside the Arraylist ApproverGroups since it was NOT expecting the items tag.
How can i get rid of this?..Why does it come there in the first place.

thanks

Hi Guys,
I ultimately got it working by doing this

private var request1:XML = <MasterRequest  
        <clientId>1</clientId>  
        <description>Some Desc</description>  
        <ApproverGroups>  
            <EachApproverGroup>                 
                <eachapproverGrpId>14</eachapproverGrpId>  
                <eachApproverGrpSeq>1</eachApproverGrpSeq>                
            </EachApprovalGroup>  
            <EachApproverGroup>                 
                <eachapproverGrpId>15</eachapproverGrpId>  
                <eachApproverGrpSeq>2</eachApproverGrpSeq>                
            </EachApprovalGroup>  
        </ApproverGroups>  
                  </MasterRequest>;

private var _webservice:HTTPService = new HTTPService;
	_webservice.url= "someurl";
        	_webservice.contentType = "application/xml";
        	_webservice.method = "POST";
        	var groupToken:AsyncToken = _webservice.send(request1);
