Pétur Runólfsson updated AXIS2-4401: ------------------------------------ Attachment: Value.java Server.java Attached web service used for example. > xsi:type attribute should be generated for elements declared as xs:anyType > when the actual value is a simple type > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AXIS2-4401 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4401 > Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: adb > Affects Versions: 1.5 > Reporter: Pétur Runólfsson > Priority: Minor > Attachments: Server.java, services.xml, Value.java > > > Currently, the xsi:type attribute is only declared for complex types. This > means that if a method that returns xs:anyType returns an object of simple > type (for example xs:string or xs:date), the client gets no type information > with the object. xsi:type attributes should always be declared for return > values for methods that have xs:anyType return types. The same applies when a > method returns a complex type that contains a xs:anyType property. > Example response when xs:string is returned: > <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> > <soapenv:Body> > <ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2"> > <ns:return>Hello</ns:return> > </ns:getAnyResponse> > </soapenv:Body> > </soapenv:Envelope> > Response from same method when a complex type is returned: > <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> > <soapenv:Body> > <ns:getAnyResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2"> > <ns:return xsi:type="ax21:Value" > xmlns:ax21="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/xsd" > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> > <ax21:any xsi:nil="true"/> > </ns:return> > </ns:getAnyResponse> > </soapenv:Body> > </soapenv:Envelope> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
