The point is, I think I have a correct schema fragment, even after reading the SOAP spec. This is why I think it is a bug with WSDL2Java. I have posted before http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=101465679419996&w=2 about a NPE with WSDL2Java. After debugging I got around the error by changing my schema as below. I think it is a correct schema, but I'm really not 100% sure. But as you can see when I make the call using Axis, I get <item> instead of <option>, and I don't understand why.
I have had an exchange off-list with an Axis developer who believes my schema is now correct. Does anyone else think otherwise? And like I implied in my first post, a NPE is not very helpful in figuring out what went wrong :-) cheers, Simon -----Original Message----- From: St-Germain, Sylvain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 7:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Array complexType Have a look at www.w3.org/TR/soap section 5.4.2 Arrays Sylvain. -----Original Message----- From: Simon McClenahan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 5:20 PM To: Axis User (E-mail) Subject: Array complexType In my WSDL embedded Schema I have: ... <complexType name="ArrayOfOption"> <complexContent> <restriction base="soapenc:Array"> <sequence> <element name="option" type="tns:Option" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </sequence> </restriction> </complexContent> </complexType> <complexType name="Option"> <all> <element name="name" type="string"/> <element name="value" type="string"/> </all> </complexType> ...
