Cory, This one works. I think your xmlns:ns is incorrect:
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"; xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";> <service name="SquareServices" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="className" value="com.atosorigin.webservices.getSquareWS"/> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="getConceptChildren getConceptChildrenNoHeader getConceptChildrenVectored getConceptPath"/> <responseFlow> <handler name="EditSOAP" type="java:com.atosorigin.web.soap.handlers.ConceptCompositionSOAPOutHandler "/> </responseFlow> <beanMapping qname="myNS:ConceptCompositionAttributes" xmlns:myNS="urn:getSquareWS" languageSpecificType="java:com.philips.ce.ecm2.web.ConceptCompositionAttribu tes"/> <beanMapping qname="myNS:ConceptComposition" xmlns:myNS="urn:getSquareWS" languageSpecificType="java:com.philips.ce.ecm2.web.ConceptComposition"/> <typeMapping xmlns:myNS="urn:getSquareWS" qname="myNS:ConceptPath" type="java:com.philips.ce.ecm2.web.ConceptPathVector" serializer="com.philips.ce.ecm2.web.encoding.ser.PathSerializerFactory" deserializer="com.philips.ce.ecm2.web.encoding.ser.PathDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/> </service> </deployment> regards Bob Lindeman -----Original Message----- From: Cory Wilkerson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 25 februari 2003 00:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Axis Customer Seriliazers and Deserializers Anyone out there succesfully implementing Custom Serializers and Deserializers. I've followed the User guide blurb as well as emulated the examples in samples/encoding -- but I'm dropping the ball at WSDL generation time. When I attempt to invoke serviceName?wsdl, I receive the following output: faultString: WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Can't find prefix for 'http://localhost/services'. Namespace prefixes must be set on the Definition object using the addNamespace(...) method.: Entry from server-config is as follows (and this may be where my confusion is). I assumed the namespace definition here was arbitrary and would be the namespace marshalled to the client in the WSDL generated by Axis. <service name="TheService" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="doSomething"/> <parameter name="className" value="com.travelnow.testser.SomeService"/> <typeMapping qname="ns:SomeRequest" xmlns:ns="http://localhost/services"; languageSpecificType="java:com.travelnow.testser.SomeRequest" serializer="com.travelnow.testser.ser.SomeRequestSerFactory" deserializer="com.travelnow.testser.ser.SomeRequestDeserFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/> </service> A little disheartening. Any ideas? Cory
