OK for the sentence !
Now, as i said before, if i remove the indexed property setter/getter (or in
the original javabean, or hand-coding the wsdl), and just let the whole
array getter/setter, the wsdl properly describes the sequence of complex
type, and the serialization/deserialization seems to work.
With this complex type, describing an 'order' with a string and an array of
products :
<complexType name="ArrayOfProduct">
<sequence>
<element name="item" type="impl:Product" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
...
<complexType name="Order">
<sequence>
<element name="products" nillable="true" type="impl:ArrayOfProduct"/>
<element name="string" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
The wsdl2java for the client produces a class with the same getter/setter
that has my original javabean :
public my.service3.CompositeBean[] getCompositeBeans() {
return compositeBeans;
}
public void setCompositeBeans(my.service3.CompositeBean[]
compositeBeans) {
this.compositeBeans = compositeBeans;
}
And, on the server side, my javabean setter/getter are properly used too by
the serializer/deserializer.
So, it works !
But, is this the best or unique way to represent the 1-n associations ?
Thanks again for your comments.
