XMLReader's parse method accepts a string URI, so your file specification is wrong.
Should be something like: reader.parse("file:///home/colo/PlatformCatalogue.xml"); ________________________________ From: Adrian Colomitchi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 4:56 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: Re: Instanciate Java classes from XML instances (classes from wsdl2java) I'm battling with the same problem for some time now (like 3-4 hours). Assuming PlatformCatalogue is a class generated by AXIS, I'm circling the following piece of code (on the idea that BeanDeserializer is a org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler): TypeDesc plCatTypeDesc=PlatformCatalogue.getTypeDesc(); BeanDeserializer deserializer= new BeanDeserializer(PlatformCatalogue.class, plCatTypeDesc.getXmlType(), plCatTypeDesc); XMLReader reader; try { reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(); reader.setContentHandler(deserializer); reader.setErrorHandler(deserializer); reader.setEntityResolver(deserializer); reader.setDTDHandler(deserializer); reader.parse("/home/colo/PlatformCatalogue.xml"); PlatformCatalogue toUse=(PlatformCatalogue)deserializer.getValue(); } catch (SAXException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); } Now, I my mind, the above should work, but in reality it doesn't!! No exception thrown, however the loaded PlatformCatalogue instance is empty (no inner elements are created/set). What's wrong with it? I swear the XML file does have a valid and non-empty content for the root tag. It drives my crazy, I'll end totaly bald!! Someone, please help!

Actually I saw several similar questions but they were never answered. I have generated binding classes with wsdl2java. For tests, I have XML documents on the file system, and I'd like to get the corresponding Java objects (instances of the classes generated by wsdl2java). I guess that would be easy with Axis, but I didn't find the way to go. I use Axis 1.4. ________________________________ View this message in context: Re: Instanciate Java classes from XML instances (classes from wsdl2java) <http://www.nabble.com/Instanciate-Java-classes-from-XML-instances-%28cl asses-from-wsdl2java%29-tf3877102.html#a10987143> Sent from the Axis - User mailing list archive <http://www.nabble.com/Axis---User-f232.html> at Nabble.com.
