Hi Senthil, Don't pass language specific constructs like Calendar, in a web service call. You are better taking the less obvious route; just pass the minimal amount number fo fields in the Calendar object that can be used by a client to regenerate the equivalent object on their side. That is, build a new complexType in XML Schema and use Doc/Lit-wrapped web services. The main reason is simply, interoperability. Even of you know all of your clients will be Java going forward, it's bad practice to pass language specific objects in a web service. If indeed all of your clients will always be Java, then you would benefit from RMI or EJB where you would get a significant speed increase. Web Services is for interoperability across disparate systems. Regards, -jeff _____
