Axis 1.4 -Serialization of array of Strings

[A. Dusi]

Hello everyone!

I just started learning web services. I have downloaded Axis 1.4 jars. I made the WSDL with some googling and was able to generate stubs and objects using WSDL2Java.

My problem is in the client. I am supposed to get back an object containing another object which in turn contains an array of strings. I am able to get back only the last string in the client- length of array is getting reduced to only one on client. However I am able to see that the web service is returning more than one string. I am using tcpmon to see the request and response. They are as desired. There are no error messages on the console. Everything seems normal except that I am losing information on the client, which I think is related to Serialization. Can anyone point me to the right direction.


Here is the wsdl types:

   
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://myuri.org/" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" />
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOf_xsd_anyType" targetNamespace="http://myuri.org/">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<xsd:attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="xsd:string[]" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
 

<xsd:element name="outerElement">
<xsd:complexType name="outerElementName" targetNamespace="http://myuri.org/">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="id" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="innerElementsList" nillable="true">
<xsd:complexType name="innerElementsListName" targetNamespace="http://myuri.org/">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="innerElement" nillable="true" type="impl:ArrayOf_xsd_anyType" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
 

</xsd:schema>
 

I am using document/literal and I need to get back XML in the following way in the soap response:

   
<soapenv:Body>
         <outerElement xmlns="http://myuri.org/">
            <id>123422</id>
            <innerElementsList>
                  <innerElement>abc123</innerElement>
                  <innerElement>5tg123</innerElement>
                  <innerElement>678123</innerElement>
            </innerElementsList>
         </outerElement> 
      </soapenv:Body>
 

 

I am using JDK 1.3.

Thanks for reading my post.

if you're just starting Web Services, I would highly suggest that you use Axis2's most recent release instead of going backwards to Axis(1).
