Registering Serializer, Deserializer, howto

[Ravi Rao]

All,

 

I'm trying to write a web service which requires my own data types.  I
have read and followed all instructions but with no luck. No matter
what I do I always get this exception on the server.

 

Axis-1.3, jdk-1.5, RedHat Linux.
java.io.IOException:
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: java.io.IOException: No serializer found for class com.alterpoint.MyBean in registry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:java.io.IOException: No serializer found for class com.alterpoint.MyBean in registry [EMAIL PROTECTED].

 

I'm obviously missing something. Code appended. All help gratefully
accepted.
