Dear axis2 support,
I am quite new on this technology and I would like to ask you a question on
class inheritance.
I would like to have a method in the ws interface returning a generic type
(A in the example) and then runtime return a subclass of that generic class
(B I the example).
I also take care that the subclasses on exposed in the interface are
included in the WSDL.
I tried with several technologies available in AXIS2 without succeed:
POJO: even if the automatically generated WSDL is fine (A with a and B with
a and b), when I try to return a subclass B instead of the generic class A,
only variables defined in the subclass B are present in the SOAP message. Is
the system using the wsdl to call getters and setters or it is finding no
method "setA()" in the B class and therefore is not calling it?
ADB and XMLBEANS: Generating the code, The class B does not extend the class
A so I cannot set an instance of B in the return class defined as A. Of
course A does not contain setters and getters for its subclasses.
Can you please tell me where I am making mistakes??
This is the implementation class:
==================================================
public class TestServiceImpl{
public A getA(){
A a = new A();
a.setA("a");
return a;
}
public A getBunderA(){
B b = new B();
b.setA("a");
b.setB("b");
return b;
}
public B getB(){
B b = new B();
b.setA("a");
b.setB("b");
return b;
}
}
==================================================
With the following classes:
==================================================
public class A {
String a;
public String getA() {
return a;
}
public void setA(String a) {
this.a = a;
}
}
public class B extends A {
String b;
public String getB() {
return b;
}
public void setB(String b) {
this.b = b;
}
}
==================================================
Thank you very much!
Lorenzo.
