Rob,
Without being unkind, I think you should read Mehdi's post more
carefully before referring him to a Java tutorial...
His code contains the following instructions:
Class[] returnTypes = new Class[] { Set.class };
Object[] response = serviceClient.invokeBlocking(opFindEntry,
opFindEntryArgs, returnTypes);
The point is actually not that his WS returns a Set (this information
obviously gets lost when serializing to XML), but that on the client
side he explicitly specifies the expected Java type as Set and that
RPCServiceClient#invokeBlocking returns an ArrayList instead. I'm
neither an expert of RPC nor of ADB, but I'm a bit surprised to see
this.
The code in Axis2 that causes this behavior can be found in
org.apache.axis2.databinding.utils.BeanUtil#processObject:
if (SimpleTypeMapper.isCollection(classType)) {
return SimpleTypeMapper.getArrayList(omElement);
}
The logic behind this is indeed a bit questionable, and I think
Mehdi's question is perfectly relevant.
Regards,
Andreas
