I have seen postings about deserializing arrays from last
January, but didn't find an answer to my problem. I am
trying to pass an object from my service back to the client
and am getting a "no deserializer defined for array type
{regisproject.util}Product" error. The object being passed
back is a bean (catalog) that contains an array of bean
objects (products). Using TCPMon I see that the message
sent to the client has the right data -
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:getCatalogResponse
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xmlns:ns1="ProductDbHelper">
<getCatalogReturn href="#id0"/>
</ns1:getCatalogResponse>
<multiRef id="id0" soapenc:root="0"
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xsi:type="ns2:Catalog"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xmlns:ns2="regisproject.util">
<products xsi:type="soapenc:Array"
soapenc:arrayType="ns2:Product[5]">
<item href="#id1"/>
<item href="#id2"/>
<item href="#id3"/>
<item href="#id4"/>
<item href="#id5"/>
</products>
</multiRef>
<multiRef id="id4" soapenc:root="0"
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xsi:type="ns3:Product" xmlns:ns3="regisproject.util"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
<description xsi:type="xsd:string" xsi:nil="true"/>
<id xsi:type="xsd:string">4 </id>
<inventory xsi:type="xsd:double">55.0</inventory>
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">Test Product 456</name>
<nextShipDate
xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2003-01-01T07:00:00.000Z</nextShipDate>
<nextShipQty xsi:type="xsd:double">100.0</nextShipQty>
<price xsi:type="xsd:double">1234.56</price>
<status xsi:type="xsd:string">not active</status>
<vendorId xsi:type="xsd:string">3 </vendorId>
<vendorName
xsi:type="xsd:string">Parts-R-Us</vendorName>
</multiRef>
...
In my deploy.wsdd I have bean mappings for Product and
Catalog -
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/";
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";>
<service name="ProductDbHelper" provider="java:RPC">
<parameter name="className"
value="regisproject.database.ProductDbHelper"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods"
value="test,getProduct,getCatalog"/>
<beanMapping qname="myNS:Product"
xmlns:myNS="regisproject.util"
languageSpecificType="java:regisproject.util.Product"/>
<beanMapping qname="myNS:Catalog"
xmlns:myNS="regisproject.util"
languageSpecificType="java:regisproject.util.Catalog"/>
</service>
</deployment>
Do I need to add something for the array to the .wsdd? Any
ideas as to what else is needed?
Note: I have another service that returns a single product
and it deserializes without any problem.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
