Read-only bean properties and ?WSDL.

[Cameron Ross]

Hello,   I have deployed an axis web service with a service method that returns a complex type.  This return type follows the java bean naming conventions to define a simple bean with a single read-only property, that is, it has a single private String data member with a getter method only.  When I deploy the service and check the ?WSDL output I find that the sequence element under the associated complex type is empty (i.e. <sequence />).  If I add a setter method for the property and re-deploy the service I get the expected result (i.e. <sequence> <element name=”message” nillable=”true” type=”xsd:string” />).   Is their a way to employ the BeanSerializer for beans with read-only properties, or must I write custom serialization code?   Cheers,   Cameron.
