Hello, I have a webservice method that returns to me a User object which is a bean like class have getters and setters for fields like firstname, lastname, password.
My deploy.wsdd looks like this <deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"; xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";> <service name="TestWs" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="className" value="com.ardec.ebf.test.TestWebService"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <beanMapping qname="myNS:User" xmlns:myNS="urn:TestWebService" languageSpecificType="java:com.ardec.ebf.usermgr.User"/> </service> </deployment> and the client call is as follows String endpoint = http://localhost:8080/usermgr/services/TestWs Service service = new Service(); Call call = (Call) service.createCall(); call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) ); call.setOperationName( "getObject" ); QName qn = new QName( "urn:TestWebService", "User" ); call.registerTypeMapping(User.class, qn, new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(User.class, qn), new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(User.class, qn)); call.setReturnType(qn); User usr = (User) call.invoke( new Object [] {}); Now when I run this class to call the service and get me the user object I get the following error - Could not convert java.lang.String to bean field 'password', type java.lang.String [junit] - Exception: [junit] java.lang.NullPointerException [junit] at org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanPropertyTarget.set(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializerImpl.valueComplete(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializerImpl.endElement(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.endElement(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.message.SAX2EventRecorder.replay(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.publishToHandler(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializerImpl.startElement(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.startElement(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.message.SAX2EventRecorder.replay(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.publishToHandler(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.deserialize(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.getParams(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Unknown Source) [junit] at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Unknown Source) [junit] at com.ardec.ebf.test.TestWsClient.testGetObject(Unknown Source) [junit] at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) [junit] at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39 ) [junit] at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl .java:25) [junit] at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) . . . . I have tried to follow the example 5 and I know there are many of you who have tried to return a Java object from the webservice. Please check my wsdd and client class. What am I doing wrong here. Please help me.
