Right, I believe its the beandeserializer. And yes, the WSDL's need to be out on your Web server. - James Snell Software Engineer, Emerging Technologies, IBM James M Snell/Fresno/IBM - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "No, 'being created in God's image' does not mean I'll have this project done in seven days!" - Anon. Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: James M Snell/Fresno/IBM@IBMUS Subject: RE: Invoking NasdaqQuotes sample web service (IBM WSTK2.3 proble m) Thanks, Its not the StringDeserializer because its the NasdaqQuote object that it couldn't deserialize. By the way in the tutorial, in the deploy batch file what does it mean when it says "remember to copy all of the wsdl files located in ./deploy to a well known location on your webserver"? is the client get the wsdl's from the web server? zaf -----Original Message----- From: James M Snell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2001 12:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Invoking NasdaqQuotes sample web service (IBM WSTK2.3 proble m) The tooling that creates proxies from a WSDL document doesn't handle custom complex xml data very well. Take a look at the NasdaqQuotesClient.java for information about how to define the serializers. Also, I think in Apache SOAP 2.2, the "StringSerializer" class went away, so the code needs to be changed to use "StringDeserializer". Could be wrong because I'm just now getting back to updating the code. - James Snell Software Engineer, Emerging Technologies, IBM James M Snell/Fresno/IBM - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "No, 'being created in God's image' does not mean I'll have this project done in seven days!" - Anon.

I did check with the apache trouble shooting document and figured that the client couldn't find the Deserialiser. But the thing about WSTK2.3 is the Sevice Interface WSDL is used to generate something called a service proxy. The service proxy contains the code to access and then invoke the web service. So I can't alter the mapping in the client code or can I ?? I was hoping other users of WSTK2.3 might have encountered this problem. zaf -----Original Message----- From: Tom Myers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 6:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Deploying NasdaqQuotes sample web service (IBM WSTK2.3 proble m) At 01:01 PM 8/8/2001 +0600, Zafar Nisthar wrote: ... >The following Exception occurs when i try to deploy: umm, I think you mean, when you try to invoke the deployed service? >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- - >-- >NasdaqQuotes Service Found.... preparing proxy... > > >NasdaqQuotes Service Proxy Initialized... invoking service... > >Exception in thread "main" com.ibm.wstk.WSTKException: RPC exception in >method invocation. >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- - >-- > Nested exception is: > > [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=No Deserializer found to >deserialize a 'urn:nasdaqquotes-service:NasdaqQuote' using encoding style >'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.; Your client is failing to deserialize the answer; you'll find this in the troubleshooting guide,e.g. ...\soap-2_2\docs\trouble\index.html : >No Deserializer found to deserialize a 'XYZ' using encoding style 'FOO' >The Apache SOAP code received a SOAP envelope (as a request if its on the server >side or in a response if its on the client) containing an XML element of schema >type XYZ and encoded using encoding style FOO.

In this case, look at the addressbook example code for stuff like > BeanSerializer beanSer = new BeanSerializer(); > smr.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC, > new QName("urn:xml-soap-address-demo", "address"), > Address.class, beanSer, beanSer); and probably you want something vaguely resembling > smr.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC, > new QName("urn:nasdaqquotes-service", "NasdaqQuote"), > NasdaqQuote.class, beanSer, beanSer); (That assumes that your actual quote class is called NasdaqQuote and can be deserialized by the BeanSerializer class, of course.) But I don't know how this sort of issue interrelates with IBM WSTK2.3.... Tom Myers
