Sorry guys. It was caused by a bug. Although the search criterion list was constructed properly, an empty list was sent to the server. That is why I saw nothing in the request message.

The method signature that I use is: public HitList search (Vector criteria) { ..... } When I call this method, I pass a Vector which contains a Criterion object that contains String fields such as name, search values, etc. The SOAP message is as below: ---------------------------------- POST /odtest/servlet/rpcrouter HTTP/1.0 Host: arcdev99:20400 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 494 SOAPAction: "" <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:search xmlns:ns1="urn:archive-service" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";> <criteria xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"; xsi:type="ns2:Vector"> </criteria> </ns1:search> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The response a HitList object that contains a Vector and String arrays. Objects in this vector contain lot of String fields. These String fields all get shown with <item> tag. Why is response ok but not request? Any hints? -----Original Message----- From: Scott Nichol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Must use TcpTunnelGui on the same machine? how is Vector represented in Soap? > Another question is that I send a Vector of application objects.

Are they be transferred as binary > data as POST data? Hmmm. You should also see a </criteria>. Everything between the two tags is the contents of the vector. For example, I believe a Vector of strings looks something like <myVector...> <item xsi:type="xsd:string"> String1 </item> <item xsi:type="xsd:string"> String2 </item> </myVector> Note that if you want to interoperate nicely with SOAP implementations other than Apache SOAP, you should use arrays instead of Vectors. Arrays are defined by the SOAP spec. Vectors are a compound type defined by Apache SOAP.
