[jibx-users] AXIS2 - How to return a complex object not String only

[JM Delsaux]

Hi,   I apologize because I know it’s the JIBX mailing list and I ask something about AXIS2.   I am currently using Axis1.3 and I would like to switch to AXIS2 and later, when it’ll be available, I would like to use JIBX with Axis2.   My problem is: I am completely lost.  I red everything I found about Axis2.  I can create a simple webservice that gets and returns a String but what about a more “complex” object like a Person with several addresses ?  In Axis 1.3 it was really simple.  I just have to define a Remote interface and implementation like:   public interface PersonServiceRemote extends Remote {   Person[] findByLastNameAndCity(final String argCity, final String argLastName);   void save(final Person argPerson);   … }   In the client (a heavy client), I use a DAO (PersonDAOImpl here after) which call the PersonServiceRemote functions… and that’s all.  With Axis1.3 the Marshalling/Unmarshalling is done.  I give parameters (String or array in fact) and I receive a java object or array of object.   How can I do with AXIS2 ?   Thanks for your help   JMi       DAO at client level that use the webservice: ================================ ... import org.springframework.beans.factory.ListableBeanFactory; import org.springframework.context.support.FileSystemXmlApplicationContext; ...   public class PersonDAOImpl extends AbstractDAO implements PersonDAO {       public static final String CLIENT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_LOCATION = "clientContext.xml";     private ListableBeanFactory beanFactory;     private PersonServiceRemote personServiceRemote;       public PersonDAOImpl() throws MyException {         init();     }       protected void init() throws MyException {         try {             beanFactory = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(CLIENT_CONTEXT_CONFIG_LOCATION);             Map services = beanFactory.getBeansOfType(PersonServiceRemote.class);               for (Iterator it = services.keySet().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {                 String beanName = (String) it.next();                 personServiceRemote = (PersonServiceRemote) services.get(beanName);             }         } catch (final Exception argE) {             LOG.error(argE.getMessage(), argE);             throw new MyException(argE);         }     }       public List findByLastNameAndCity(final String argCity, final String argLastName) throws MyException {         List list = new ArrayList();         try {             PersonTO array = personServiceRemote.findByLastNameAndCity(argCity, argLastName);             if (array.length > 0) {                 for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {                     Person data = "">                     list.add(data);                 }             }         } catch (final Exception argE) {             LOG.error(argE.getMessage(), argE);             throw new MyException(argE);         }         return list;     } ...
