Hi,
I am integrating axis to existing product where we can expose some
webservices and send/recieve SOAP messages. We have our own
configuration files instead of WSDL that would expose the services as
Webservices. Hence I cannot use WSDL2Java to generate stubs for axis.
We have generic methods
public Vector callOperation ( Vector params).
Any services that needs to be exposed as webservice implements this
method. The vector of params that is passed as argument can contain
regular java type params and/or attachments.
I am expecting the wire format of the SOAPBody would be
<calloperation>
<Params>
<vector param 1 ../>
<vector attachment param2 .. />
...
</Params>
</calloperation>
My question is , if I call
Call.invoke ( params ) // where params => vector of params
after setting all the necessary properties in Call object like
operationName etc, will Axis go through each object, find out if its a
regurlar java object or attachement and call serialization
accordingly?
Should the vector contain objects of any specific type ( ala RPCParam
) for it serialize each objects properly? In all the examples, I see
that each argument to the webservice method is set separately and
passed as Object[] to Call.invoke(), which goes through each objects,
converts it to RPCParam and serialize it finally. In my case, the only
object that would be passed to Call.invoke() would be a vector.
Any information ( or pointers to it ) as to how to
serialize/deserialize each object of the Vector will be very helpful.
Thanks
