Hi, I have two questions.
I write a java application and expose it as a web service using AXIS. The methods take in custom data objects for which I specify the appropriate type-mappings in the deployment descriptor file. The entry in the deployment descriptor for the type mapping is as follows: <typeMapping xmlns:ns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"; qname="ns:arrlist" languageSpecificType="java:java.util.ArrayList" serializer="com.metlife.ins.portal.disability.common.encoding.CollectionSerializer" deserializer="com.metlife.ins.portal.disability.common.encoding.CollectionSerializer" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/> When I try deploying this service using the Admin Client it throws up the following exception. It gives me a classcastexception for the serialiser class. I have only one copy of the class file on my machine.So there is no question of it being repeated in the classpath. THE EXCEPTION: - Processing file deploy.wsdd - Exception: AxisFault faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Server.userException faultString: org.apache.axis.deployment.wsdd.WSDDException: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.metlife.ins.portal.disability.common.encoding.Collec nSerializer java.lang.ClassCastException: com.metlife.ins.portal.disability.common.encoding.CollectionSerializer
