We return an acknowledgment object in response to a call. I don't know what is happening on the .net side to de-serialize our ack bean since the .net side is a third-party vendor. Our service returns a standard java bean as an acknowledgment. We have not written our own serializer/deserializer? We use the BeanSerializer/BeanDeSerializer that is part of Axis. Our current deployment uses Jboss 3.0.1 with Jetty (like I said we don't use JBoss.net) and Axis 1.0 RC3.

Sorry if this is a redundant question...have you tried custom objects in the parameters and how do you serialize/deserialize on the .net side? Also what version of JBoss and Axis do you use? thanks in advance. -joe -----Original Message----- From: Callies, Peter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 10:51 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [JBoss-user] Fastest (and stable) way to turn existing EJBs i nto Web Services? We've been using Axis, albeit not with JBoss.net, and have had no trouble integrating with .Net.

If you make sure your value objects adhere to the javabean spec, you can use Axis' custom BeanSerializer and BeanDeserializer to automatically encode/decode them for you. I do this and it works fine. Initially the cvs version of xdoclet (1.2) was not making "true" javabeans for the value objects, but I submitted a patch that has long since been applied that fixes that. As for the WSDL, adding "?WSDL" to your service URL creates it for you dynamically with JBoss.net/Axis. Granted, I haven't tested this with a .net client yet...
