The axis user's guide states that when using jws files, "you can't specify custom type mappings."
Does that mean that any method parameters return types have to be String, int, etc., and cannot be user-defined (say a "Dog" class, for example, which is in the same dir as the jws file), unless you generate and register the serializers separately? I've created a DogService.jws file which has a method which returns a Dog object. It is compiled just fine and DogService.jws?WSDL works great, but when I call the service it gives an error ("IOException: No serializer found for class Dog in registry...").) I suppose the serializers aren't generated when .jws files are used for the first time? Thanks, -CM
