Could you possibly help me with this problem: I am using AXIS, under WebLogic 8.1, as my SOAP Engine. During a particular call to a web service I pass in an array of strings. It appears to me that AXIS is encoding the array of strings on the client side using http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding. When the request reaches the server it throws the exception: No deserializer defined for array type {http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding}string It is my understanding that I will have to add a "typeMapping" to my deploy.wsdd file. However, I do not know what the syntax for it should look like? Could you provide me with the syntax or point me in the direction of some resources? Thanks, John M.

So just change the method signature for the getters and the setters and change the equals and hashmap and it nicely converst the Arrays to the say ArrayList etc and returns it.

However, I am unable to get this working when a method has a Collection as a return type or parameter. Before, I believe that the call to: Call.setReturnType(Collection.class) was instructing Axis to handle these types correctly. However now, since I'm invoking service methods directly on an interface, I get a ClassCastException on the client side, after the data has been returned. If I call a method that returns an array, it works fine. When attempting to invoke a method which includes a Collection as a parameter, I get the following error: Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer defined for array type {http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Iava}ArrayOf_tns3_anyType at org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.createFault(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:2 23) at org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.endElement(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:13 0) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.endElement(Deserializati onContextImpl.java:1053) at com.bluecast.xml.Piccolo.reportEndTag(Piccolo.java:1059) at com.bluecast.xml.PiccoloLexer.parseCloseTagNS(PiccoloLexer.java:2154) at com.bluecast.xml.PiccoloLexer.parseTagNS(PiccoloLexer.java:1338) at com.bluecast.xml.PiccoloLexer.parseXMLNS(PiccoloLexer.java:1272) at com.bluecast.xml.PiccoloLexer.parseXML(PiccoloLexer.java:1240) at com.bluecast.xml.PiccoloLexer.yylex(PiccoloLexer.java:4754) at com.bluecast.xml.Piccolo.yylex(Piccolo.java:1253) at com.bluecast.xml.Piccolo.yyparse(Piccolo.java:1363) at com.bluecast.xml.Piccolo.parse(Piccolo.java:702) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:345) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.parse(DeserializationCon textImpl.java:218) at org.apache.axis.SOAPPart.getAsSOAPEnvelope(SOAPPart.java:568) at org.apache.axis.Message.getSOAPEnvelope(Message.java:427) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invokeEngine(Call.java:2708) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2671) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2357) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2280) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:1741) at org.apache.axis.client.AxisClientProxy.invoke(AxisClientProxy.java:156) Thanks in advance for any help or information that anyone can provide. I've started to read that Collections aren't directly supported by JAX-RPC, or SOAP. Is this true? It looks like I should start switching my methods to return arrays instead of collections, but I'd prefer to find a workaround for now. This communication is for informational purposes only.
