When Beans Are Not Enough - Custom Serialization
Just as JWS deployment is sometimes not flexible enough to meet all needs, the default bean serialization model isn't robust enough to handle every case either. At times there will be non-bean Java classes (especially in the case of pre-existing assets) which you need to map to/from XML, and there also may be some custom XML schema types which you want to map into Java in particular ways. Axis gives you the ability to write custom serializers/deserializers, and some tools to help make your life easier when you do so.TBD - this section will be expanded in a future version! For now look at the DataSer/DataDeser classes (in samples/encoding). Also look at the BeanSerializer, BeanDeserializer, ArraySerializer, ArrayDeserializer and other classes in the org.apache.axis.encoding.ser package.
Can someone direct me to the right place where I can find example of sending arrays across?
Thank you,
Sri
