Hello,
While trying to use java.lang.Arraylist object in WebServices, i encountered the following exception usint the Universal test Client genrated by WSAD:
exception: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=No Deserializer found to deserialize a 'http://util.java/:ArrayList' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Deserializer found to deserialize a 'http://util.java/:ArrayList' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.]
Does any body know what i should do in order to use ArrayList in a WEbService, so I caon read it another platform (like .NET)?
Thank's,
Yair Ogen

It seems unlikely that .NET will recognize a Java collection. Why not serialize a plain array?

How exactly can you serialize a simple array?
Do you mean like this: MyAccount[] (where "MyAccount" is a complex class of mine...)?

Exactly!
You can pass arrays of primatives and your own complex types, they just need to be defined be soap data type compatible.
I started experimenting of Friday to see if I could "nest" complex types in other complex types. Initial test failed. I'll give it one more go before I discard it as "un-do-able". I'm also going to see if I can create a tree (node to node relationships) structure using a the same complex type.

It all seems to work fine...
I was able to nest complex types (...I had a ValueObject class that contained an InnerValueObject class).
I was also able to create a tree or chain of my ValueObject where one ValueObject contains one or more references to one or more other ValueObjects.
...at least is WSAD via the generated proxy.
I'm about to generate a VB proxy for .Net to try it from there...

Only issue I had was when generating the proxy, I had to update my outer value object xsd to contain the "declaration" of the the inner value object and I had to place the xsd with the inner value object up one directory...
I'm still looking into why I was forced to do this... Initially I had issues with the two xsd files (inner and outer value objects having the same namespace.
Once I made those "odd" corrections based upon error messages generated by wsdl.exe I was able to invoke the vb proxy and return all the necessary values.

Hi,
I'm probably missing something...
First I dont know what wsdl.exe is.
In fact when I try to use my generated wsdl in .NET for an inknown reason my xsd isn't passed on so my c# program doesn't recognize my complex object ("MyAccount") even if I'm not passing it as a simle array...
Besides the above I would to know what did you mean when you said: "they just need to be defined be soap data type compatible"?
As you can see my knowladge is poor...
Thus:
1. why doesn't my xsd file pass on?
2. what changes should I make tp pass simplar arrays of complex objects?
3. what is wsdl.exe and what is it for?
Thanks,
Yair

Hi I managed to create a .NET proxy but it can't "talk" to my java side application. I get the follwing error:
No Serializer found to serialize a org.apache.soap.rpc.Parameter using encoding style 'null'
from the java side.
what can I do to solve this.
this happens for complex objects as well as simple data types...

1) May I assume that you now know what the wsdl.exe is and what it's for and further that you built your .Net proxy using it?
2) show us the method signature of the webservice that is throwing the error.

Yes, I have a clue of what wsdl.exe is and i built a .NET proxy.
The only problem with my .NET proxy is that it can't transfer or get parameters from my java side application (not even primitive data types).
I receive the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Serializer found to serialize a 'org.apache.soap.rpc.Parameter' using encoding style 'null'
In any case, here are some of the files involved:
here is the proxy:

Yair,
An observation...
Your .net proxy code does not contain your getAccount function call and does not contain the class definition for your myAccount class.
This stuff is not conceptually difficult, but it does require attention to detail and a strict following of the process to create them. Personally, most problems I've encountered have been because I've been in a hurry and forgotten a step, or skipped testing each piece along the way.
That can be frustrating.
I'll assume you've tested the webservice calling it from a java proxy and that it worked flawlessly.
I'll as assume that you created a web application in .net and had access to all the framework code you'd need to do SOAP calls.
If I were you I'd take a step backa and create a test class with the simplest api possible (one method call returning just a String or an int), no other clutter. I'd go through the steps of building and testing each step along the way, especially to make sure it's working in java before moving to .Net. Once you've proven that it works go back to your original class and go through the same steps. I'm sure you'll discover the error then...
Regards,

Sorry,
It still doesn't work. Not even for a simple String. Either I didn't use my .NET proxy correctly, or I have a compatability porblem between .NET and WSAD.
I found one topic regarding my problem at dotnet247 Forum which indicates that maybe the soap version used by WSAD (2.2) is incompatible with the version used by .NET. Does .NET use the 2.3 version?
Might that be the problem?

As for now the problem was solved by changing the soap jar to the soap jar v2.3 int the WSAD runtime...
If any body knows how I can integrate Axis in WSAD (as it is a better solution than an jar exchange), please let me know.
