what is the deal with the axis xbeans samples? in particular: XmlBeansSerializer and XmlBeanDeserializer? i am grateful that the author has gone to the trouble of coding these serializers (and the client code) and making them available. but dealing with these classes has been the most confusing and frustrating experience i have ever had with any of apache's projects!
i'm working with axis 1.4 (with a j2se 1.4.2). first, i found the axis xbeans sample here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1764
please, can anybody explain why the axis 1.4 distribution contains javadoc for the XmlBean(De)Serializer classes, but does not include any code/source for the XmlBean(De)Serializer stuff?
i have deployed the java1dot4XBeanSample.war, but getting it to work with axis 1.4 using the apache-xbean.jar bundled with the war has been fraught with many frustrations!
using the apache-xbean.jar bundled with the war, i started up the SimpleAxisServer on port 8080 and then tried to hit the StarWarsPort wsdl with the following url:
http://localhost:8080/axis/services/StarWarsPort?wsdl
please, see http://net-contractor.net/02_10_06_xbeans_problems_1.zip for the resulting stacktrace and the classpath i used.
my questions:
1) what do i need to do to sort out the NoSuchMethodError i'm getting for XmlBeans.typeSystemForClassLoader()?
2) has the XmlBeanSerializer stuff been omitted from axis 1.4 because it is too buggy?
3) with what version(s) of axis do folks have trouble-free experiences using java1dot4XBeanSample.war?
thanks in advance for your help.
