Hi Feh,
Here is how you return complex object with Axis2 (I'm showing this in WSDL 1.1 version). For Example: Say you have the following method. public Employee findEmployee (long empId); This method is returning an Employee object which is a complex object. The Employee object looks like this. Employee String empName; String empDesignation; int empAge String empDepartmentName In your WSDL you represent this as follows (I'm showing the WSDL in document/literal style and I'm showing only the schema definition part, not the message, portType, binding & service parts, I hope you can handle those). <definitions targetNamespace="urn:ws.rsys.com" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="your namespace"> <types> <schema elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="your namespace"> <element name="findEmployee"> <complexType> <sequence> <element name="empId" type="xsd:long"/> </sequence> </complexType> </element> <complexType name="Employee"> <sequence> <elemenet name="name" type="xsd:string"/> <elemenet name="designation" type="xsd:string"/> <elemenet name="age" type="xsd:int"/> <elemenet name="departmentName" type="xsd:string"/> </sequence> </complexType> <element name="findEmployeeResponse"> <complexType> <sequence> <element name="findEmployeeReturn" type="tns:Employee"/> </sequence> </complexType> </element> </schema> </types> ... message ... ... portType ... ... binding ... ... service ... </definitions> Thanks Raghu -----Original Message----- From: feh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 1:58 PM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: returning complex object with Axis2 Please bear with me...it's been a few months since I've worked with Axis 2, so my description of the situation may not be very clear... I've learned just enough about Axis 2 to write a soap service. It is a little bit unusual, in that the soap service was added to an existing web application, running under Tomcat. From what I remember, Axis 2 was designed to be its own container, so I had to find instructions somewhere on the net (where, I don't remember), which outlined how to incorporate Axis2 into an existing web app. Needless to say, this is probably not a "standard" installation. Anyway, all my services currently return primitive values (String, int, int[], etc). I'm wondering how to return complex objects, if it's possible. Is there documentation or a howto that covers this situation? In all the examples I've looked at so far, the service methods all return primitives.
