JAX-RPC specifies XML -> Java name translation, which Axis implements. JavaBean properties have a lower-case first letter.
Axis should include the XML name in the Meta-data in the Bean, so that on the wire, the XML element has the name specified in the WSDL. Hope this helps. -- Tom Jordahl -----Original Message----- From: dweber [mailto:dweber@;asyst-connect.com] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 2:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: problem solved for de-serializer, bean question I've finally solved my client connection problems with axis, and the problem ended up being an issue with the naming of the bean property. Essentially, I had a message: <IsEdaEnabledResponse> <IsEnabled>false</IsEnabled> </IsEdaEnabledResponse> and a class to handle this response (I'm simplifying the message structure). I finally figured out that the wsdlToJava tool was not (for me) correctly implementing the stubs (which is another story). I hand-finagled the stub to add the response message, but kept getting the error about an invalid element - IsEnabled. I verified that the field was present in the response stubs TypeDescr field, but no joy. I finally downloaded the source and spent the weekend digging through the serialization logic, and finally found the section in BeanUtils where the property descriptors were acquired using Introspector.getBeanInfo().getPropertyDescriptors(). When I printed out the fields returned by this method (using getName() on each property), I found that the bean field was named "isEnabled", while the tag was named "IsEnabled" - note the case issue. Once I modified the server to return the tag as "isEnabled" the code worked fine. The bizarre thing, and what prompts my question, is that the response class *does not have a field named "isEnabled"*, it's named "IsEnabled". [private boolean IsEnabled;] The accessors are named "getIsEnabled" and "setIsEnabled", there isn't a lowercase "isEnabled" anywhere to be found. For my server, this won't be an issue, since I control the tags. It's quite possible this will be an issue when I connect to the real server, which has the uppercase first letter in the tag. Can someone explain where this field comes from, and if it's possible to set it somehow?
