Hi everybody, how do I register custom Serializer and Deserializer classes in axis. I used the following wsdd configuration, but in does not work:
--- wsdd file ---- <deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"; xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";> <service name="TestService" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="className" value="axistest.TestService"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <typeMapping xmlns:ns="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/TestService"; qname="ns:ItemBuffer" languageSpecificType="axistest.Buffer" serializer="axistest.BufferSerializerFactory" deserializer="axistest.BufferDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; /> </service> </deployment> -------- I am able to deploy my service but when I am calling the service my client receives the following exception: INFO: Mapping Exception to AxisFault AxisFault faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Server.userException faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (class java.lang.String -> class axistest.Buffer) faultActor: null faultDetail: stackTrace: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (class java.lang.String -> class axistest.Buffer) at org.apache.axis.message.RPCHandler.onStartChild(RPCHandler.java:285) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.startElement(Deserializa tionContextImpl.java:893) at org.apache.axis.message.SAX2EventRecorder.replay(SAX2EventRecorder.java:200) at org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.publishToHandler(MessageElement.java: 684) at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.deserialize(RPCElement.java:207) at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.getParams(RPCElement.java:265) at org.apache.axis.providers.java.RPCProvider.processMessage(RPCProvider.java:1 90) ... The interesting part is that the service mothod doesn't need to (de-)serialize a Buffer object because it works on String objects only. Only another method uses the Buffer class but that method has not been called yet. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong because I don't find a solution in the documentation of axis nor in the samples provided with axis. Thank you very much, Thomas
