Hey, I haven't done this, nor needed to give it any thought before, but would it be possible to write an Axis serializer that utilized the hibernate codebase, specifically the meta-data about the classes, to serialize them to soap friendly collections and so on?
I'm assuming you're not trying to distribute transactions or anything? You're just after the value yeah? my 2c. cheers dim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Rehman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 11:45 AM Subject: [Hibernate] Moving Hibernate objects with SOAP > Hello all, > > I'd like to move Hibernate generated objects (generated with hbm2java, > of course) across the wire with SOAP. > > There are two problems: > > First, Hibernate generates collection accessors.
