just noticed something peculiar -- i have several bean mappings that relate to value objects spit out by a session facade ejb impl.
once wsdl2java is called on my service, the client classes generated for the value objects are created as abstract classes rather than the norm (non-abstract). these value objects are actually proxy classes that implement an interface (similar to the business interface pattern). when the service is invoked on these generated classes, it will blow out with an InstantiationException becase axis cannot create an instance (its a language violation to try and initialize an abstract class) so basically, i am asking if anyone else has seen behavior similar to this, or if this is indeed a bug in the axis client. (btw, the fix for this is to simply remove the abstract keyword out of the class def in case you havent guessed by now.) cheers, steve stallion
