Wille
Thank you for the response. Another question if I may. Below is the code
where I used to be returning a Vector. I changed it to return an array
of UserBean objects. I remember trying this before but got a class cast
exception. Should this work?
Thanks
Brad
public UserBean[] getListOfUsers()
throws RemoteException
{
final String methodName = "getListOfUsers";
mLogger.entering(className,methodName);
Vector vectorUserBean = new Vector();
try
{
while
{
code to get each employee and create a UserBean
object and it to the
vectorUserBean
}
} catch ....
return (UserBean[])vectorUserBean.toArray();
}

Are you using a Vector-class to keep your employee-objects?
That is a big no-no in Web Services if you don't want your service to
only be accessible to other Java Axis-clients.
You should avoid using any Java-proprietary Collections, Hashmaps etc
and prefer using Arrays.
The rule basically is: only use javabean objects or arrays of javabean
objects that consist of "SOAP-native" datatypes.
A list of possible types are found at:
