Hi,
Please see the attached email where I tried to address your question:)
The idea with web services is that you can pass/return any type of
object as long as you define an XML schema for it. The schema
definition tells the data binding tooling (i.e. ADB, XmlBeans, etc) how
to convert your type to/from XML.
So if you want to return a multi-dimension array, you need to define an
object schema that has such a data structure. For example, the
following might work for you if you want to pass a 2D string[].
<xs:complexType name="StringArrayType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Item" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="StringArray" type="tns:StringArrayType"/>
<xs:complexType name="2DStringArrayType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="StringArray" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="2DStringArray" type="tns:2DStringArrayType"/>

Subject: Does Axis2 support 2D/2D object array as return type?
Hello,
Does Axis2 support 2D/2D object array as return type?

Hi,
What kind of value are you getting back?
I don't think xs:any was designed for this. It should be to generically
represent an object that actually has an XSD schema. In what you're trying to
do below, what is the schema of the xml you expect to be returned?

Subject: Re: How to return Object[] from axis2
Hi Deepal,
Thnaks a lot for your response. I can use Axis2 in our client side but we need
to make it work with Axis 1.4 to support backward compatibility. I checked
axis2 and found that it supports Object array as return type however, it does
not work with following return type (Object array of Objejectarray of Object
array):
public Object[] returnObjectArray(String authToken) {
Object[] retVal = new Object[3];
Object[] args = new Object[3];
args[0] = new Object[] {"Arg1", "Arg2", "Arg3"};
args[1] = new Object[] {"Arg1", "Arg2", "Arg3"};
args[2] = new Object[] {"Arg1", "Arg2", "Arg3"};
retVal[0] = new Object[] {"RetVal1", "Retval2", authToken, args};
retVal[1] = new Object[] {"RetVal3", "Retval4", authToken, args};
retVal[2] = new Object[] {"RetVal5", "Retval6", authToken, args};
return retVal;
}
Please let me know how I can make axis2 work with axis 1.4 for the above
mentioned return type!!

Hi Chinmoy ,
If you do not mind , try to use Axis2 in the client side . If it is
working then the problem should be there in either Axis1 or the way
Axis2 serialize that message .
Thank you!
