Hi Rob Spoor,

Thanks for the answer. I have crosschecked what you said, changed in every possible place to lower-case names, but unfortunately the error is still the same.
BTW. This is not the only place where there are differences with case, almost every name in XmlType annotation and XmlElement annotation is different and it works for other fields.

Good morning all,
I have a problem with my SOAP service. First of all let me introduce some of the information.
Here is part of the schema used to validate incoming request:
<xsd:complexType name="PassengerDetails_Type"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="SeatPosition" type="SeatPosition_Type" minOccurs="0" /> <xsd:element name="Injured" type="YesNoUnknown_Type" minOccurs ="0" /> <xsd:element name="Age" type="AGE_Type" minOccurs="0" /> <xsd:element name="Gender" type="Gender_Type" minOccurs="0" /> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:element name="PassengerDetails" type="PassengerDetails_Type" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <!-- As a note over here I'll add that it worked when there wer no maxOccurs="unbounded" and it was either 0 or 1 element-->
Using IntelliJ IDEA (in detail I believe JAXB) I have created Java code for above schema.

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) @XmlType(name = "AdditionalInformationData_Type", propOrder = {    "passengerDetails", }) public class AdditionalInformationDataType {    @XmlElement(name = "PassengerDetails")    protected List<PassengerDetailsType> passengerDetails;    ... }
And
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) @XmlType(name = "PassengerDetails_Type", propOrder = {    "seatPosition",    "injured",    "age",    "gender" }) public class PassengerDetailsType {    @XmlElement(name = "SeatPosition")    protected SeatPositionType seatPosition;    @XmlElement(name = "Injured")    protected YesNoUnknownType injured;    @XmlElement(name = "Age")    protected Integer age;    @XmlElement(name = "Gender")    protected GenderType gender;    ... }
I am sending valid XML request
<additionalInformationData> <passengerDetails> <seatPosition> <unknown/> </seatPosition> <injured> <unknown/> </injured> <gender> <unknown/> </gender> <age>18</age> </passengerDetails> </additionalInformationData>
And I am receiving back NullPointerException, which is an error of Axis library, because by debugging I have found that real error should be "No Deserializer for PassengerDetails".
I have started to debug every getDeserializer-like method in Axis and I have found that this part of code in library cannot find a deserializer between java List and xml Array:
public final Deserializer getDeserializer(Class cls, QName xmlType) { if (xmlType == null) return null; DeserializerFactory dserF = null; Deserializer dser = null; try { dserF = (DeserializerFactory) getTypeMapping(). getDeserializer(cls, xmlType); } catch (JAXRPCException e) { log.error(Messages.getMessage("noFactory00", xmlType.toString())); } if (dserF != null) { try { dser = (Deserializer) dserF.getDeserializerAs(Constants.AXIS_SAX); } catch (JAXRPCException e) { log.error(Messages.getMessage("noDeser00", xmlType.toString())); } } return dser; }
So I have manually changed from List to Array in Java code:
protected List<PassengerDetailsType> passengerDetails;
to
protected PassengerDetailsType [] passengerDetails;
Now it does seem to find a Deserializer (ArrayDeserializer), but now it throws this error:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">   <soapenv:Body>      <soapenv:Fault>         <faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>         <faultstring>org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer for {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType</faultstring>         <detail>            <ns1:hostname xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/"></ns1:hostname>         </detail>      </soapenv:Fault>   </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>
Now I can send a request like this:
<additionalInformationData> <passengerDetails> </passengerDetails> </additionalInformationData>
And the response is OK, but I think that inside there is something wrong, as array is empty, and I believe it should has one element with no fields in it.
I can either send a request like this and the situation is the same as above:
<additionalInformationData> <passengerDetails> </passengerDetails> <passengerDetails> </passengerDetails> </additionalInformationData>
So my questions are:
1. Why JAXB is not creating at first an array? Maybe List was ok, and the problem is some where else.
2. How to get it working?

PS. The structure of insides of PassengerDetails are 100% valid.
