I have a strange problem with getting Calendar/Date (java.util.*) objects via an Axis/SOAP method. The method's return type is a complex type mapped as a bean with the beanMapping tag and this complex type has a Date field (I tried both Date and Calendar - neither worked).
When calling the method from the client, an exception is thrown upon deserialization:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: No object was found for class type class java.util.Calendar
This is even more strange, since I set up another test method that simply returns a Calendar (or Date - again I tried both) instance. This method works just fine so I really don't see how this is different from the previous bean-field case.
Just to summarize again:
case #1 - complex bean-mapped type with a field of the type java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar returned by the webservice method - the above-mentioned exception is thrown upon deserialization
case #2 - just java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar (Axis should handle ser/deser automatically - so no mapping or other black magic) returned by a webservice method - everything OK
PLUS I checked the request/response with the tcpmon utility and the Date/Calendar values are serialized the same way in both cases:
<date xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2006-08-30T12:33:50.197Z</date>
I am 99% sure that the complex classes' beanMapping is correct - when I remove the Date field, the object gets from the server to the client with NO PROBLEMS.
I'll appreciate any help you can give me - I feel kind of silly to even ask this since the issue looks quite elementary, but it's just not working for me
