Alternately, you could code your own Serializer/Deserializer taking help from existing SimpleSerializer and Deserializer Factories that are present in org.apache.axis.encoding.ser package and later use <typeMapping ...> in your WSDD.
For more information take a look at http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#WhenBeansAreNotEnoughCustomSerialization

Look into message-style services (see the Axis user guide, Service Styles
section, and the Wiki). A few signatures are possible, and one of these
might be what you're looking for:
Element[] your-method-name(Element[] requestBodyElements);
Document your-method-name(Document requestBody);
The client calling the service would supply DOM Elements or Documents. The
server would determine the type of document in order to decide what to
return. The client would know what to do with whatever XML is returned.

Subject: Another issue
Hello all,
As I said in previous messages, I want to create a web service that could
receive any types and dynamically extracts the contents of those types.
Thus, I saw in java Object a solution for my problem. Hence, I created the
web service that receives and returns the java Object:
public Object myMethod(Object o) throws Exception{
.
}
Now, my problem is: How can I create, in WSDD and in the client, the Mapping
to serialize my object, once I don't know specifically what type I'm
receiving and returning?
Some times I can receive a bean for a person (name, age, weight), other
times I can receive a bean about address (street, state, country), or a bean
about cars (color, model, vendor). I don't know previously the type that my
web service will receives. If I knew I could mount my WSDD with no problems
(passing the specific beanMapping) and in my client too (mounting my
call.registerTypeMapping(specif class information and (De)
BeanSerializerFactory).
My doubt is how I must construct my WSDD and my client to make my web
service works. Or anyone could see another solution for my problem? Instead
of java Objects. Or this is an unreachable web service?
Thanks a lot for any help,
FabrÃcio.
