This note is a continuation of "Issue with Axis when sending abstract class to
.NET webservice"
I have change my .NET Web Service and no longer has any abstracts. It looks
like
public class Person{ public string name; public Address address;}
public class Address{
}
public class HomeAddress : Address{ public string houseNumber;}
I let Axis generate the Java proxy class and I call the .NET service in the
Java client as such:
IEmployeeServiceProxy service = new IEmployeeServiceProxy();
HomeAddress homeAddress = new HomeAddress();homeAddress.setHouseNumber("456
Long and Winding Road");
person = new Person();person.setName( "Bob the Builder"
);person.setAddress(homeAddress);
newPerson = service.getPerson( person );
For all 3 tests below, NO CHANGES were made to the .NET Webservice.
Test 1: Run as isIf I examine the SOAP Request Message I see <ns1:Address />
with no data.
----- SoapRequest at 3/6/2007 2:35:41 PM -----<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <soapenv:Body>
<GetPerson xmlns="urn:emp:service"> <ns1:person xmlns:ns1="urn:emp:data">
<ns1:Name>Bob the Builder</ns1:Name> <ns1:Address />
</ns1:person> </GetPerson> </soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
Test 2: If I open the Java Proxy Class Person.java and change public
data.emp.Address getAddress() { return address; }to public
data.emp.HomeAddress getAddress() { return (HomeAddress)address; }
then this goes into the service <ns1:Address xsi:type="ns1:HomeAddress">
<ns1:HouseNumber>456 Long and Winding Road</ns1:HouseNumber>
</ns1:Address>and this comes out
<Address xsi:type="HomeAddress"> <HouseNumber>456 Long and
Winding Road</HouseNumber> </Address>however the getAddress() method now
returns null when trying to print in the Java client
Test 3:Put getAddress() back to original code and
Change all instances from data.emp.Addressto data.emp.HomeAddress
The correct data structure is passed in
<ns1:Address xsi:type="ns1:HomeAddress"> <ns1:HouseNumber>456
Long and Winding Road</ns1:HouseNumber> </ns1:Address>
recieved
<Address xsi:type="HomeAddress"> <HouseNumber>456 Long and
Winding Road</HouseNumber> </Address>
and printed out successfully.
Printing Returned Data...
Name: Bob the Builder
Addr: 456 Long and Winding Road
Any thoughts are welcomed.
