Return Complex Types.

[David J.]

How do I access an Array that is returned in a HashMap?

The server returns a HashMap with the following values

{responseCode=OK,people=[Array of People]}

I cast the response to a HashMap which then lets me access the  objects 
by key,

although the Array simple returns Object, and I cant access the Data.

ie I call

HashMap response = (HashMap)client.execute(myMethod,param);

String responseCode =  (String)response.get(responseCode);
System.out.println(responseCode); (Prints OK);

Object[] people = (Object[]) response.get(people);
System.out.println(people); (Prints java.lang.Object);

Anyone can help me?

Hi,

since you don't get a class cast exception, everything seems to be working
as it should be.
in your print you probably get something like [Ljava.lang.Object;@1100d7a
but this means that you have array of Objects

Thus you can access the first person as people[0].
The corresponding type will be based on how the array of people was
constructed.

 hm, try wireshark or something similar. I don't know better solution.

Seconded.  Capture the session in Wireshark, and then follow the TCP
stream.  You will then see both the XMLPRC request and response, and
it will probably become obvious what is going on.
