DataObjects sent from client service web are null in the web service

[stella atsafack]

hi,

i have created a web service and generated through jax-ws some classes for the web service client.
fisrtly all of my classes are not generated. In fact, i want to send an array of data to the web service but i have build two classes, the first one (Measure)which contains two string and the second one(arrayofMeasure) which is an arraylist of Measure.

When i generate through wsdl my classes in the service web client, the class Measure doesn't appear, the class ArrayofMeasure is empty but i have no error and when i make some changes in the classes of client, i can see data objects but when i call the web service, my data objects is empty.

could you please tell me how i can build my class arrayof measure or is there an error somewhere else?

Thanks


regards,
Stella

Hi!
If you are doing WSDL-first development, you can declare an array type like this:

<xsd:element name="StringArray" type="tns:StringArrayType"/>
<xsd:complexType name="StringArrayType">
  <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element name="x" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

If you are doing Java-first development, I suggest that you avoid ArrayofMeasure altogether and return data of the type Measure[].
Best wishes!

i would like to use measure[] but in fact, i'm supposed not to use it.My boss ask me to use List<Measure>.
I don't know if i can use soap to resolve this problem.

have you any idea about his use?

Well, there you have your problem.
If you still want to use List, then you can give custom JAXB mappings a try. For example, take a look at the following webpage: http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.5/tutorial/doc/JAXBUsing4.html
