RE: Strange WSDL -> SOAP type mapping; can anyone explain

Hi John,

I am getting the same when I return a BeanArray using Wrapped document/literal - Axis 1.3

Also when returning just a Bean which contains a bean array, this bean array has the same problem.

Also, I found when the service runs a second time, the return bean array problem does not occur, it was only on the first request.

Looking at some Apache Axis logging, I noticed that a setReturnType ( qname ) call on the OperationDesc object was using a null, so I put some code in to set the qname of the OperationDesc.setReturnType method and it starting working on the first go.

The Bean containing a bean array still has the problem.

Subject: Strange WSDL -> SOAP type mapping; can anyone explain

I have written a service that returns an array of Name/Value pairs and then de-serializes to a Java HashMap. This works so far, but monitoring the SOAP data stream that's returned, I'm puzzled by the schema returned. I'll include the WSDL and SOAP at the end of this posting, but to summerize:

I would expect the <soapenv:envelope> to contain something like this:

<GetMemberProfileResponse xmlns="http://api.ws.digitalimpact.com">
<retValues>
       <NVPair>
          <NVPair>
            <NVname>firstName</NVname>
            <NVvalue>John</NVvalue>
          </NVPair>
          <NVPair>
            <NVname>registrationDate</NVname>
            <NVvalue>2006-01-26 15:12:00.0 </NVvalue>
          </NVPair>

</retValues>

<GetMemberProfileResponse>

But instead I get:

<GetMemberProfileResponse xmlns="http://api.ws.digitalimpact.com">
<retValues>
    <retValues>

          <NVPair>
            <NVname>firstName</NVname>
            <NVvalue>John</NVvalue>
          </NVPair>
          <NVPair>
            <NVname>registrationDate</NVname>
            <NVvalue>2006-01-26 15:12:00.0</NVvalue>
          </NVPair>

</retValues>

<GetMemberProfileResponse>

See that <NVPair> has been replaced by a repeat of <retValues>

I will need to call this service from .NET and I think this will be a problem.

This service is using Axis 1.2.1 in tomcat 5.5.9. I built the service from WSDL, using wsdl2java.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks in advance:

John

An expample of the SOAP response (from TCPMonitor) is:
