RE: Urgent, Please Help - with multiple parameters including an array

[Ben Reif]

Wouldn't this be incorrect? Because then wouldn't the SOAP message come across like:

 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <soapenv:Body>

        <listTest xmlns="http://CoretestWebServices/service/WSObjectService">
                    <WSObject>

                        ......

                    </WSObject>

                    <WSObject>

                        ......

                    </WSObject>

                    <WSObject>

                        ......

                    </WSObject>

                    <field>quantity</field>
                    <value>25</value>

        </listTest>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

 

And then wouldn't that cause Axis to be looking for a method that looks like:

 

public WSObject[] listTest (WSObject arg1, WSObject arg2, WSObject arg3, String field, String, value)?

 

Or, does Axis automatically see that there's multiple children of the same type and include them in an array? This can't be, because what if I had a method signiture that looked like:

 

public WSObject[] listTest (WSObject [] arg1, WSObject arg2, String field, String, value)

 

Then how would the ArrayDeserializer know which WSObjects are part of the array for the first parameter and which is on it's own for the second? I thought that was part of the whole point of wrapping arrays as one element in the WSDL, and I've read that this is actually prefered.  Isn't what I had originally more correct?

 

<element name="listTest">
      <complexType>
          <sequence>
              <element name="ArrayOfWSObject" type="tns1:ArrayOfWSObject"/>
              <element name="field" type="xsd:string"/>
               <element name="value" type="xsd:string"/>
          </sequence>
      </complexType>
</element>

 

<complexType name="ArrayOfWSObject">
   <sequence>
        <element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="WSObject" type="tns1:WSObject"/>
   </sequence>
</complexType>

 

Where in the WSDL I have an ArrayOfWSObject referenced, and then I have ArrayOfWSObject defined as the actual array. Then in my wsdd file I have:

 

<arrayMapping
        xmlns:ns="http://webservices.test.domain.coretest.ams.com"
        qname="ns:ArrayOfWSObject"
        type="java:com.ams.coretest.domain.test.webservices.WSObject[]"
        innerType="cmp-ns:WSObject" xmlns:cmp-ns="http://webservices.test.domain.coretest.ams.com"
        encodingStyle=""
/>

 

<operation name="listTest" qname="operNS:listTest" xmlns:operNS="http://CoretestWebServices/service/WSObjectService"
           returnQName="retNS:listTestResponse" xmlns:retNS="http://CoretestWebServices/service/WSObjectService"
           returnType="rtns:ArrayOfWSObject" xmlns:rtns="http://webservices.test.domain.coretest.ams.com"
           returnItemQName="tns:WSObject" xmlns:tns="http://webservices.test.domain.coretest.ams.com" soapAction="listTest" >
    <parameter qname="pns:ArrayOfWSObject" xmlns:pns="http://CoretestWebServices/service/WSObjectService"
           type="tns:ArrayOfWSObject" xmlns:tns="http://webservices.test.domain.coretest.ams.com"
           itemQName="itns:WSObject" xmlns:itns="http://webservices.test.domain.coretest.ams.com"/>
    <parameter qname="pns:field" xmlns:pns="http://CoretestWebServices/service/WSObjectService" type="tns:string" xmlns:tns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
    <parameter qname="pns:value" xmlns:pns="http://CoretestWebServices/service/WSObjectService" type="tns:string" xmlns:tns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
</operation>

 

Based on the method signiture in the implementation class and the wsdd file, shouldn't the java2wsdl generate the correct WSDL that I had before? You can't seriously expect people to be manually writting WSDL just because they're using document or wrapped style services. Is this just a bug in the java2wsdl Emitter, or is there something wrong with my wsdd file?
