Thanks Anne.
How do you submit a request having complex types with a POST? Can you show me for the login method sample with User object containing username & password?

But Jeff is correct that you cannot submit a complex query parameter via URL encoding. Also note that encoding a password as a query parameter in a URL (per Raghu's example) violates just about every security best practice imaginable. And this time I'll bite my tongue and not rant about the inappropriateness of turning a method into a resource.

It's all about those Query parameters, the name-value pairs following the '?' and separated by the '&'. REST services is all about manipulating resources, not passing complex types. If you want to send complex types, then you need the so-called 'big' web services technologies like SOAP/WSDL. -jeff -----Original Message----- From: Raghu Upadhyayula [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 3:45 PM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: RE: Axis2 & rest Hi Zakaria, For the methods with simple parameters you use it like this.... Say I have a webservice MyService with login method and username & password parameters, then the rest URL will look like this. http://localhost/axis2/services/MyService/login?username=raghu&password= xxx But I'm not sure how to call it if the parameter is a complex type, like if my login method takes in a User object which has username & password as members of the User object, then I'm not sure how to call that.
