On my course of learning of webservices on Axis. I created a complex type Person containing age and name attributes. I tried to create another complextype PersonsContainer which contains a Person array and count. My wsdl has two functions getPerson() returning Person and getPersons() returning PersonsContainer.
I uses wsdl2java to generate the server and client java codes. and I deploy the service on Axis 1.2RC3. The java client works fine with the service but when I try to access the service with .net client I am able to receive the person with getPerson() but I am unable to get PersonsContainer using getPersons(). When looking at the soap responses. It seems the getPersons() is getting getPerson() function kinda weird. My wsdl is : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <wsdl:definitions name="PersonTest" targetNamespace="http://shantanu.org/PersonTest/"; xmlns:tns="http://shantanu.org/PersonTest/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";

Can someone provide any insight into it. I have tried it so many time that I have run out of ideas. Thanks Shantanu -- Graduate Student Department of Computer Science, San Diego State University
