bug in TypeMapping framework?

[Steve Maring]

I've been pulling my hair out over this one for a few weeks.  I cannot seem to keep my custom Serializers from creating redundant top level elements in the SOAP body.  I'm not sure if it is a problem with the hand-off from the BeanSerializer to my CastorSerializer of if I'm missing something, conceptually, in my CastorSerializer.

 

I've attached a small project which examplifies this issue.  (3rd party jars removed)  I opted for this approach instead of posting a dozen or so files to this email.  Ant script creates a war deployable to a local JBoss or Tomcat instance with a simple JUNIT testcase.

 

The core of my problem is that regardless of whether I say in my WSDL:

 

   <element name="in0" type="tns1:A"/>

 

or

 

   <element name="in0" type="impl:In0"/>
   <complexType name="In0">
       <sequence>
           <element name="a" type="tns1:A"/>
       </sequence>
   </complexType>

 

where A is defined by:

 

   <complexType name="B">
    <sequence>
     <element name="myString" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
  
   <complexType name="A">
    <sequence>
     <element name="b" nillable="true" type="tns1:B"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>

 

and my WSDDs contain:

 

      <typeMapping
        xmlns:ns="http://dto.maring.org"
        qname="ns:B"
        type="java:org.maring.dto.B"
        serializer="org.maring.ser.CastorSerializerFactory"
        deserializer="org.maring.ser.CastorDeserializerFactory"
        encodingStyle=""
      />
      <typeMapping
        xmlns:ns="http://dto.maring.org"
        qname="ns:A"
        type="java:org.maring.dto.A"
        serializer="org.maring.ser.CastorSerializerFactory"
        deserializer="org.maring.ser.CastorDeserializerFactory"
        encodingStyle=""
      />

 

The soap body will end up either looking like this:

 

<soapenv:Body>
    <in0 xmlns="http://ws.maring.org">

        <a>
            <b>
                <myString>Hello World</myString>
            </b>
        </a>
    </in0>
</soapenv:Body>

 

with complaints about:  "Invalid element in org.maring.dto.A - a"   since in0 is of complexType A

 

or this:

 

<soapenv:Body>
    <in0 xmlns="http://ws.maring.org">
        <a xmlns="">

            <a>
                <b>
                    <myString>Hello World</myString>
                </b>
            </a>
        </a>
    </in0>
</soapenv:Body>

 

with complaints of the form:  "Invalid element in org.maring.dto.A - a"

 

Any thoughts would be VASTLY appriciated!

 

Cheers.
