[xfire-user] Help with Inheritance in a Java Client

[David Elliott]

 
I have consumed a web service via the XFire project wizard and am not
getting all the data to deserialize into the class.  The problem is that the 
xml data 
is a sub classed obejct and is being returned as the base class data member.
 
Below is snippets of the code generated and the XML data.  
 
Any help is appreciated.

================
 
Snippet of actual XML SOAP message body
 
<Movement>
<Direction xsi:type="CompassDirection">
           < other data removed >
</Direction>
</Movement>
 
 
 
Code generated by the XFire project wizard (1.0.2.xfire124).
 
private void create0() {
    TransportManager tm = 
(org.codehaus.xfire.XFireFactory.newInstance().getXFire().getTransportManager());
    HashMap props = new HashMap();
    props.put("annotations.allow.interface", true);
    AnnotationServiceFactory asf = new AnnotationServiceFactory(new 
Jsr181WebAnnotations(), tm, new AegisBindingProvider(new JaxbTypeRegistry()));
    asf.setBindingCreationEnabled(false);
 
    service0 = asf.create((services.IReport.class), props);
    {
        AbstractSoapBinding soapBinding = asf.createSoap11Binding(service0, new 
QName("urn:services", "IReportLocalBinding"), "urn:xfire:transport:local");
    }
    {
        AbstractSoapBinding soapBinding = asf.createSoap11Binding(service0, new 
QName("urn:services", "IReport"), "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http";);
    }
}
 
 
public class Movement {
    @XmlElement(name = "Direction")
    protected AbstractDirection direction;
    
    < other definitions removed >
    
    public AbstractDirection getDirection() {
    return direction;
    }
 
    < other methods removed >
}
 
 
public class AbstractDirection {
    < definitions removed >
    < methods removed >
}
 
  
public class CompassDirection
    extends AbstractDirection
{
    @XmlElement(name = "Direction")
    protected DirectionCode direction;
   
    < other definitions removed >
 
    public DirectionCode getDirection() {
        return direction;
    }
 
    < other methods removed >
}
 
 
I noticed when writing this that there were duplicate XmlElement names 
"Direction".  
I changed CompassDirection in the Web Service to the following and then 
consumed the 
service again via the wizard but it made no difference.
 
public class CompassDirection
    extends AbstractDirection
{
    @XmlElement(name = "Hello2")
    protected DirectionCode hello2;
 
    < other definitions removed >
 
    public DirectionCode getHello2() {
        return hello2;
    }
 
    < other methods removed >
}
