How to use enum types with Axis2?

[Ram Charan]

I have created a simple webservice with Axis2, which takes in an object of type Event as an input argument. This Event class has a member called EventType. When I generate code using WSDL2Java tool in axis2, I am unable to figure out how to create and event and set event type in it to the proper enum I want. Here are code fragments:

WSDL:
<xs:complexType name="Event">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="eventID" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="eventMessage" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="eventType" nillable="true" type="ax22:EventType" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="EventType">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:Enum">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="COMPOSITE_TEST_CREATED_SUCCESSFULLY" nillable="true" type="ax22:EventType" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="COMPOSITE_TEST_START" nillable="true" type="ax22:EventType" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>


Event:

public class Event implements Serializable
{
/** Serial UID */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

/** A unique ID for the event */
private String eventID;

/** Event message */
private String eventMessage;

/** The event type */
private EventType eventType;
// I have get and set methods for above here....

}

EventType:

public enum EventType implements Serializable
{
COMPOSITE_TEST_START,
COMPOSITE_TEST_CREATED_SUCCESSFULLY;

EventType()
{
}
}
I am able to create the Event object in the web service client. I am unable to figure out how to set the event type in it...

class Test {
  
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        Event event = new Event();
      
        event.setEventType( EventType.COMPOSITE_TEST_START );
        System.out.println( event.getEventType() );
      
        event.setEventType( EventType.COMPOSITE_TEST_CREATED_SUCCESSFULLY );
        System.out.println( event.getEventType() );
    }
    
}
 

class Event {
    /** The event type */
    private EventType eventType;
    // I have get and set methods for above here....
  
    // ... so I added them back.
    void setEventType(EventType eventType){ this.eventType = eventType; }
    EventType getEventType(){ return this.eventType; }
}
 
enum EventType {
    COMPOSITE_TEST_START,
    COMPOSITE_TEST_CREATED_SUCCESSFULLY;
 
    EventType(){}
}
