Hi Wouter
Yep - sounds like Chad is flat out with 3.1! Quote: (you mean the controller classes emitted by the bpm4struts cartridge, right ?) (end of quote) yep Quote: I am interested to know why you prefer exposing pojos directly to the clients through these webservices .. why are you doing that ? (end of quote) Good question - I'm using webservices in a very contained scenario, whereby services are only created for a single dedicated client. This makes the services application specific. My team creates the services, my team creates the client. Our processes propagate service changes quickly and easily to the client. Additionally, for some administration capabilities (eg CRUD) our service client auto generates UIs based on the SOAP message received (or the WSDL). Therefore, changing an entity and regenerating through andro can be immediately reflected in the UI. In this case I especially don't want the extra layer of abstraction through value objects. The client I'm talking about is a stateful AJAX browser framework which calls and consumes WebServices directly. We have a complete development paradigm based around this, which turns our J2EE web applications into purely a J2EE service strategy (no struts, jsp, nothing). Also - just to clarify re collections, in my example scenario (initial post), the webservice methods are only returning single entities and single valueobjects (not arrays or collections). The Struts controller is able to access the Entity and Value Object perfectly, but with the different webclients I tried, the service can't return the entity without serialisation problems.
