Axis Complex Type

[Suman Majumder]

Can anyone help me with this ??
Retrieving document at 'http://localhost:9080/WebServiceTest/wsdl/com/xyz/classes/GetDataFromDB.wsdl#GetDataFromDB'.

Axis parameters gathered:
TargetNamespace = http://classes.xyz.com
Service Name = GetDataFromDB
Port Name = {http://classes.xyz.com}GetDataFromDBService
Operation Name = getData
Input Parameters = BENTCD

Invoking service >> GetDataFromDB <<...
Error invoking service : org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer for {http://entity.xyz.com}Description

I am trying to invoke a WEBService which has complex types in WSAD5.1 using Axis runtime

Do you have a serializer/deserializer for the "Description" class, and did you declare it in the WSDD file or in your code? Axis can't just transport any Java object, it needs to know how to convert it to something cross-platform compatible. Even if you can use the BeanSerializer, that still needs to be registered with the SOAP code.

My wsdd file looks like ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">

<!-- Services from GetDataFromDBService WSDL service -->

</service>
</deployment>


Do I have do do anything special to make my Web Service use the wsdd file while deployment. I converted the Java bean into a Web Service and the wsdd file was generated.Then I made the web service run on server and deployed it in a UDDI.....
