Getting error in deserialization of object on client side

[naveen jain]

Hi,
i am using axis libraries for web services.this service returns a bean object so i add following code in my AtomService.wsdd file:-

<beanMapping languageSpecificType="java:com.you.atom.AtomBean"
qname="ns1:AtomBean" xmlns:ns1="urn:com.you.atom" />

this code works but when i am creating a web service client on same server then i am getting exception :-

org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer defined for array type {urn:com.you.atom}AtomBean

how can i deserialize my bean class.?

pl. help me

If you have a look at Encoding Your Beans - the BeanSerializer samples/userguide/example5 is referenced.

In samples.userguide.example5.Client.java you will find:

call.registerTypeMapping(Order.class, qn,
 
    new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(Order.class, qn),        
                      new     org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(Order.class, qn)
);        
 

i.e. the client has to be configured the same way.

The userguide should have a big fat warning in this section:
"USE OF beanMapping OR typeMapping TIGHTLY COUPLES YOUR CLIENTS TO THE AXIS PLATFORM AND THE JAVA IMPLEMENTATION LANGUAGE"

i.e. only Axis 1.x/Java clients can use your web services now (and only if you provide them the mapping configuration and/or custom (de)serializers which cannot be part of the WSDL) (Even Axis2 can't deal with these services).
