I had no luck with this and I am using Axis with ColdFusion so I am forced to use an old version of Axis.
>From what I could see the only way to manually deserialize/serialize is to use the contextimpl, but the contextimpl requires an envelope. The whole process seemed to have way too much overhead, and I was just trying to serialize/deserialize attachments. Since my attachments were xml I just used castor to build my beans and then i used the castor serialize/deserialize functionality. I think in the end it was the best way to do it. The capabilities of castor are far better. The mapping features are great and i like the fact that my attachment objects are all independant from my service code. soapxdk also has some nice features for this. --george -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: serializer.serialize() and org.xml.sax.Attributes I'm trying to manually serialize a JavaBean with the serialize method in org.apache.axis.encoding.Serializer. The does anyone know anything about the attributes parameter? It does not like me passing it null. serialize(QName�name, org.xml.sax.Attributes�attributes, java.lang.Object�value, SerializationContext�context) Cheers Steve Maring
