Re: It worked with Axis 1.4, but not Axis2

You're looking for the "unwrapping" option.

Thanks Anne and Deepal for your responses, and thanks to everyone else
for reading and considering this.

I would love to give more details.  Here goes:

With Axis 1.4, a plain old Java object like this:

public class Greeting {
  public String greeting() {
    return "Hello";
  }
}

would produce a WSDL that contains these lines:

<wsdl:message name="greetingResponse">
  <wsdl:part name="greetingReturn" type="xsd:string"/>
</wsdl:message>

And to display this with PHP would be done like this:

<? $client = new
SoapClient("http://localhost:8080/axis/Greeting.jws?wsdl";); ?>
<? echo $client->greeting() ?>

This all works very nicely, and thank you to the makers of Axis for a
fine piece of software. :)



Now in Axis2, the very same pojo (compiled and with a services.xml file)
would produce a WSDL file that contains these lines:

<xs:element name="greetingResponse">
  <xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element name="return" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
     </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<wsdl:message name="greetingResponse">
  <wsdl:part name="part1" element="ns0:greetingResponse"/>
</wsdl:message>

And the PHP code now has to look like this:

<? $client = new
SoapClient("http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/Greeting?wsdl";); ?>
<? echo $client->greeting()->return ?>

Now admittedly, this php code isn't too much worse; there is just that
extra "->return" part there.  But there are 2 other problems also.
Firstly, I don't even know how to pass in arguments using PHP and Axis2
(note that this example doesn't require any).  Everything I've tried
just throws errors, but it works as expected using Axis1.4.  The other
thing is that when I list all the functions available in this web
service using PHP, the Axis1.4 WSDL tells me there is one function with
a return type of "string" (of course), but the Axis2 WSDL tells me there
are three identical functions that each return a type of "greetingResonse".

Any ideas at all are very welcome.  I'm new to Axis and Soap, but I've
already searched through all the documentation I can find.  Hopefully
someone here will have an answer or some thoughts that lead to an answer.

Thank you all very much.

I suspect this is the same problem that Florian is facing.
