org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types

[Elilory Delpunti]

I have a problem in running my Client.
It gives me
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (class [Ljava.lang.Object; -> class myex.example)
at org.apache.axis.message.RPCHandler.onStartChild(RPCHandler.java:311)

Problem in main: ; nested exception is:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (class [Ljava.lang.Object; -> class myex.example)
My webservice returns an array of bean (example[]).

"Bustcrak",
First of all, please read the naming policy and change your display name accordingly.
Second, point a browser to the Axis User's Guide and look for "Encoding Your Beans".

Hi All/Elilory Delpunti,

I know it's been a while since this message was posted, but just wondering if you came up with any solution for the problem you had with the SAXExcepiton
I get the exception as something similar

hi
I came accross the same problem, it was quite some time back, but I think this could happen when the bean you are trying to serialize, has a setter method but not a getter method or vice versa.
this could also happen if you are trying to use the classes generated by WSDL2Java. because the bean classes that are generated also contain the typemappings in it.
This is actually not necessary.
other wise it would be good if you could also put some source code to analyse the issue.
hope this helps

Hi,
When I was getting this exception, the mapping between my Java Beans to XML wasnt there.I edited the server-config.wsdd file (in Axis) for the proper mappings & then it started working fine.

Hi Vedhas

How do I edit server-config.wsdd file. Because I am having the same exception and was just wondering, if this could help me.

Thank You !!

Well there is two option,
Either use the axis adminclient + specific wsdd for a given service.
Or edit the servlet-config.wsdd directly, to edit it directly you should know some basics about wsdd tags.
For examples to deploy a service called OrderProcessor which uses a bean called Order in its SOAPrequest, you will add the tags like

<service name="OrderProcessor" provider="java:RPC">
<parameter name="className" value="samples.userguide.example5.BeanService"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="processOrder"/>
<beanMapping qname="myNS:Order" xmlns:myNS="urn:BeanService"
 languageSpecificType="java:samples.userguide.example5.Order"/>
</service>

As you can see the code above, try to run all the samples that comes with Axis package, then you can master around ;)

Hi Loganathan,
Its really a great help that you had done to Khushi Panesar, I guess. I am also on the same page of Khushi. As in our project we have to access the third party Web Service, and they are using Axis. We were given set of classes that are implemented using WSDL2Java. Now the problem is I have developed a simulator which works as my Client Web Service in local environment. Everything working fine but while receiving response, Client code throws the following error.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in com.echostar.www.api.create.version.two._ScrubAddressResponse - Address

Where Address is a User definedd class and AddressValidFlag is boolean type. while accessing primative type its not showing any errors.

Could you please help me.
