Web service receiving and returning org.w3c.dom.Element

Hello all,

Does anyone have a real example of a web service that receives and returns an org.w3c.dom.Element? I created one, but doesn’t work! :’-((((((((((((

Always I get this error:

org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.

My web service is just this:

import org.w3c.dom.Element;

public class ElementWS {

public Element method(Element e){

return e;

}

And my wsdd is:

<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"

xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">

<typeMapping

qname="myNS:Element"

xmlns:myNS="urn:ElementWS"

languageSpecificType="java:org.w3c.dom.Element"

deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ElementDeserializerFactory"

serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ElementSerializerFactory"/>

</service>

</deployment>

In my client I used registerTypeMapping too. This is a piece of my client:

…

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

Document documentXML = builder.parse("People.xml");

Element e = documentXML.getDocumentElement();

Object[] params = {e};

Service service = new Service();

QName qnElement = new QName("urn:ElementWS", "Element");

Call call = (Call) service.createCall();

call.registerTypeMapping(Element.class, qnElement ,

new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ElementSerializerFactory(),

new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ElementDeserializerFactory());

call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(urlWS) );

call.setOperationName( new QName(urlWS, "method") );

Element ele = (Element) call.invoke(params);

System.out.println(ele);

Does anyone can see why I’m getting this error?

Thanks very, very, very, very much!!

Fabrício.
