Arrays are always the sticky part of interoperability :-/. It may be an issue with the way the WSDL is constructed: try running the WS-I group's interoperability tests to see if you get anything interesting. Mindreef's SOAPScope runs the tests, if you want to buy a tool. If you like free tools, the Eclipse project WST plugin seems to do the WS-I tests, too -- convenient if you happen to be using Eclipse already.
Also, if you haven't already, you can try using Axis to generate WSDL for a method with the signature you're looking for and compare it with the WSDL you got from gSOAP. You can then set up a dummy service with Axis and watch the XML going down the wire to see how it might be different. If you're using RPC-encoded and are free to make the choice, you might try switching to Doc-literal, if for no other reason than the XML is a lot easier to read. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Michael Rudolf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2005 16:53 To: [email protected] Subject: String as parameter... Hi, I have the following problem: I developed a Web Service in C with gSOAP that offers a method that takes an Array of Strings as parameter and returns an array of objects. I used the WSDL file the was generated by gSOAP in WSDL2Java to create a client. The resulting method in Java is generated correctly. When i call it with null as parameter for the Strings everything works fine and the resulting array of objects is returned. But when i try calling the method with an array of strings teh serialization fails: AxisFault faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Client faultSubcode: faultString: Validation constraint violation: data type mismatch soapenc:Array in element <jobs> faultActor: faultNode: faultDetail: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:Validation constraint violation: data type mismatch soapenc:Array in element <jobs> at org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.createFault(SOAPFaultBuilder.ja va:221) at org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.endElement(SOAPFaultBuilder.jav a:128) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContext.endElement(Deserializati onContext.java:1087) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.endElement( AbstractSAXParser.java:633) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanEnd Element(XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.java:719) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$F ragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:16 85) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.s canDocument(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:368) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML1 1Configuration.java:834) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML1 1Configuration.java:764) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.jav a:148) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Abstr actSAXParser.java:1242) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:375) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContext.parse(DeserializationCon text.java:227) at org.apache.axis.SOAPPart.getAsSOAPEnvelope(SOAPPart.java:696) at org.apache.axis.Message.getSOAPEnvelope(Message.java:424) at org.apache.axis.handlers.soap.MustUnderstandChecker.invoke(MustUnderstan dChecker.java:62) at org.apache.axis.client.AxisClient.invoke(AxisClient.java:206) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invokeEngine(Call.java:2765) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2748) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2424) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2347) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:1804) at rmws.RMWSStub.jobStatus(RMWSStub.java:298) at TestWS.main(TestWS.java:44) The WSDL looks like the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <definitions name="RMWS" targetNamespace="urn:rmws" xmlns:tns="urn:rmws" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
