No. If you create your own 'struct-like' class with getters and setters then the far end will be able to do the same. Fancy java objects are different matter, from java.io.File to java.util.HashTable. Avoid framework stuff, roll your own datatypes. >Any links to sites or book recommendations would be appreciated. 1. http://www.iseran.com/Steve/papers/interop/ 2. http://www.manning.com/hatcher/index.html download chapter 15 -steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Souther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 6:59 AM Subject: Interoperability and complex types All the interoperability examples that I've seen on the web exchange simple data types like Strings and Doubles. Does anyone know of any examples that exchange complex types like Beans. If I map a return value to a Java Bean, does that mean that only Java clients will be able to consume my web services? Any links to sites or book recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks
