Need xsd for java.util.Vector

[Rr Kumaran]

Hi All,


I have 2 questions :


1. Can anyone give me a xsd file for the java class that is an input to a POJO that need to be exposed as web service that need to be exposed as Document/Literal style web service using Apache AXIS. Basically I want to generate an xsd schema for this java class and include that in a WSDL that need to be given to .NET so that they can consume my service.

public class Animal implements java.io.Serializable
{
private Vector animalQualitiesVector = new Vector();
 
public void setAnimalQualitiesVector(Vector v)
{
animalQualitiesVector = v;
}
public Vector getAnimalQualitiesVector()
{
return animalQualitiesVector;
}
}

2. Do we have tools that generate xsd schemas for such java classes. Did anyone use one ?


I know that for achieving Web Service interropability it is better to avoid language specific collections but still I am interested if anyone can answer to my 1st question.


Thanks & Regards,

Java Vector is not really *supported* with web services, bacause it is related to some specific language options.

So in XML, it will probably become a xsd:anyType or a complexe type with a sequence of anyTypes.

For your needs, I believe the only fully interoperable type is java.lang.Array
