Hi Paul,
Your complexType definitions are invalid, which may be the cause of the
problem. Attribute declarations need to be after the <sequence> element,
not before it. I'm surprised you're able to run WSDL2Java using this as
input without getting an error message - sounds like the schema model
needs some work on error checking.

Hi,
I am having a problem with data that is transferred via XML attributes.
Namely, when an object is constructed after receiving a message the
getter corresponding to an attribute returns null.
I start with a WSDL file and use XMLBeans data binding. The following
example is a modification of the 'quickstartxmlbeans' sample supplied
with the software. I am using Axis2 1.1.1 and Java 1.6.0.
The schema in the wsdl:types section of the WSDL file is:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
attributeFormDefault="qualified"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://quickstart.samples/xsd";>
<xs:element name="attribute">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="status" type="xs:string" />
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="value" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="attributeResponse">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="status" type="xs:string" />
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="value" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
And the message/port definition is
<wsdl:message name="attributeMessage">
<wsdl:part name="part1" element="ns:attribute"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:message name="attributeResponseMessage">
<wsdl:part name="part1" element="ns:attributeResponse"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:portType name="MyServicePortType">
<wsdl:operation name="attribute">
<wsdl:input message="axis2:attributeMessage"/>
<wsdl:output message="axis2:attributeResponseMessage"/>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType>
This defines a service whose request and response both contain an
attribute 'status' and an element 'value'.
The client sets the status attribute to "OK" and the value element to
"Testing" in the request. It calls the service and prints the status
attribute and value element that come back in the response.
public static void attribute(MyServiceStub stub){
try{
AttributeDocument reqDoc =
AttributeDocument.Factory.newInstance();
AttributeDocument.Attribute req = reqDoc.addNewAttribute();
req.setStatus("OK");
req.setValue("Testing");
AttributeResponseDocument res = stub.attribute(reqDoc);
System.err.println("Status="+res.getAttributeResponse().getStatus());
System.err.println("Value="+res.getAttributeResponse().getValue());
} catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("\n\n\n");
}
}
The service just takes the status attrbiute and the value element from
the request and echos them back in the response.
public AttributeResponseDocument attribute(AttributeDocument param1)
{
String status = param1.getAttribute().getStatus();
String value = param1.getAttribute().getValue();
System.err.println();
System.err.println("Status="+status);
System.err.println("Value="+value);
AttributeResponseDocument resDoc =
AttributeResponseDocument.Factory.newInstance();
AttributeResponseDocument.AttributeResponse res =
resDoc.addNewAttributeResponse();
res.setStatus(status);
res.setValue(value);
return resDoc;
}
When I run the client I get the following output:
run.client:
[java] Status=null
[java] Value=Testing
The value element is correct, but the status attribute is null. A trace
on the server side shows the same problem. That is, after the request is
received on the server the status attribute is null.
I changed the status attribute to a status element and all was processed
fine, so the problem seems to be specific to XML attributes.
Is something extra needed when XML attributes are involved?
Thanks,
