Hi, If you use the array of uer defined complex types in your web service then you will have to specify the typemapping for the complex type as well as for array of the complex type.
The sample type mapping for using array of user defined types can be as shoen below. <typeMapping deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; qname="ns670:SOAPStruct" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory" type="java:datainter.SOAPStruct" xmlns:ns670="http://soapinterop.org/xsd"/> <typeMapping deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; qname="ns671:ArrayOfSOAPStruct" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArraySerializerFactory" type="java:datainter.SOAPStruct[]" xmlns:ns671="http://soapinterop.org/xsd"/> And ofcourse you will have to write the class which refresent the complex type. Write the interface and implementation and deploy the service using wsdd. I'm sure you know rest of the drill. You do not have to write any custom serializer, unless you really want to. hope this helps. regards, Shrikant Wagh Optimyz Software, Inc.

How do I return an array of my custom complex type? I always get a null pointer exception. I have read that I need to write my own custom serializer/deserializer class. Is this the case? I can not find an example anywhere on the web. Can anyone provide just the simplest of examples? If this is not the case and I am just missing something small, below is the test code I have been using with the Deployment Descriptor.
