Hi,
This mail is regarding certain issues while implementing a web service using
Apache Axis 1.4. The wsdl provided to us has a particular complex type which is
of the below format:
<xs:complexType name="SampleItem">
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="sampleId" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="sampleValue" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
But post implementation, the wsdl that we get after deployment has the same
part in the following manner:
<complexType name=" SampleItem ">
<simpleContent>
<extension>
<attribute name="_value" type="xsd:string"/>
<attribute name=" sampleId" type="xsd:string"/>
<attribute name=" sampleValue" type="xsd:string"/>
</extension>
</simpleContent>
</complexType>
The generated one has no extension base. Also it has an extra attribute with
the name "_value".
Another issue we find is that in the wsdl provided to us, we have a complex
Type called SampleReference which has an object of type SampleItemList. The
type SampleItemList, in turn, has an array of SampleItem objects.
But when we run the wsdl2java for generating the Transfer objects to be used,
we don't get the Complex type SampleItemList generated at all. Instead, we have
a complex Type (auto-generated) called ArrayOf_tns2_SampleItem.
For your reference, the procedure that we follow for the web service
implementation is as follows:
1. The wsdl2java is run on the ws_provided.wsdl to get the data transfer
objects. The ant build file used for this has the following code for wsdl2java.
Note that this is a one time activity.
<target name="wsdl2java">
<java classname="org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java" fork="true"
failonerror="true">
<arg value="-o" />
<arg value="${gensrc}" />
<arg value="-a" />
<arg value="-s" />
<arg value="-S" />
<arg value="no" />
<arg value="${wsdlname}" /><!-- This is the
argument where the wsdl needs to be specified-->
<arg value="-d${scope}" />
<classpath>
<path refid="classpath" />
<pathelement location="${build}" />
</classpath>
</java>
</target>
1. The data transfer objects are then copied into our project, followed by
the implementation of the web service.
2. The project build is then carried out where the wsdl2java is used just to
generate the deploy.wsdd and undeploy.wsdd
<java classname="org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java" fork="true"
failonerror="true">
<arg value="-o" />
<arg value="${gensrc}" />
<arg value="-s" />
<arg value="-S" />
<arg value="no" />
<arg value="-c${implclass}" />
<arg value="${wsdlname}" />
<arg value="-d${scope}" />
<classpath>
<path refid="classpath" />
<pathelement location="${build}" />
</classpath>
</java>
Please do let me know about a possible solution for this at the earliest.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Anumodh K.S.
