I'm having a strange problem which I think is namespace related, but I'm not sure how to correct it.
I'm implementing a web service in axis to be used by .Net clients. First off, I have a method who's Java signature looks like:
public Object getItem(String path) {...}
I have a similar method that returns an Object[] that works perfectly. When called from .Net, the `getItem' method returns with an object, but the fields are all, always null. I am using the axis beanMapping construct for serializing my data objects. Below is a sample response from a call to my service:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:getItemResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:ns1="http://omitted.com/ns";>
<ns1:getItemReturn xsi:type="ns1:standardsDefiningBody">
<ns1:currentRevision xsi:type="xsd:string">Y1999</ns1:currentRevision>
<ns1:description xsi:type="xsd:string">Sunshine State Standards</ns1:description>
<ns1:id xsi:type="xsd:string">101</ns1:id>
<ns1:key xsi:type="xsd:string">sb:101</ns1:key>
<ns1:name xsi:type="xsd:string">Florida Department of Education</ns1:name>
<ns1:standardRevisions xsi:type="soapenc:Array" xsi:nil="true" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
<ns1:type xsi:type="xsd:string">ST</ns1:type>
</ns1:getItemReturn>
</ns1:getItemResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The part that looks strange to me is that the `ns1' prefix is still used under the `getItemReturn' element. In my other methods, those prefixes are ommitted. Also note that the Java client I built using axis handles the returned object correctly. Any pointers would be appreciated.
I'm using Axis 1.1.
Thanks, -Alan
