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

<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<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?

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.
