Patricia - SOAP does not create remote references to objects. A java.io.File is actually an object used to access a file, not the actual file itself. That is what is causing the serialization issues.
Are you attempting to just pass file contents, or attempting to pass file attributes (name, file system properties, .... etc)? If passing file contents, you probably should be using the Axis SOAP Attachment support.

I want to return java.io.File object from method in webservice. But when I create a WSDL file from JavaToWSDL tool it creates a complex type named java.io.File and in it two of element which are separatorChar and pathSeparatorChar are of char type. When I generate Java files using WSDLToJava tool it tries to create a class DefaultNamespace._char. Is their any way to around it??? >From: "Russell Butek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Char!!!! >Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 13:53:09 -0500 > >Sorry.
