Yes! I found most important to match the xmlns:ns from the server-config.wsdd typemapping entry with that of the test client registerTypeMapping qname argument.
<typeMapping xmlns:ns="http://object" qname="ns:MyObject" type="java:object.MyObject" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory" deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" /> QName myObjectQName = new QName("http://object", "MyObject"); addCall.registerTypeMapping(MyObject.class, myObjectQName, BeanSerializerFactory.class, BeanDeserializerFactory.class); Namespacing issues are starting to become more clear to me.

Do you have a Deserializer registered for the XML type {http://object.myObject}MyObject? -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia -----Original Message----- From: McCaslin Orion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 7:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: No deserializer defined for array type ? Hi, I am not having success getting an array of complex objects deserialized in a simple test client. Has anybody figured out how to solve this error? org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer defined for array type {http://object.myObject}MyObject at org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializer.onStartElement(ArrayDeseriali zer.java:257) The Service function: public MyObject[] getMyObjects() { MyObject[] myObjArray = new MyObject[3]; myObjArray[0]= new MyObject(); myObjArray[1]= new MyObject(); myObjArray[2]= new MyObject(); return(myObjArray); } I've seen a few of these error postings w/o answers. In another posting, a workaround was mentioned... ---------------------------------------------------- Define a class which holds your array, and make the new class a bean. Something like this class Folders { Folder[] folders; getter/setter functions ----------------------------------------------------- Is this really the only way? Many thanks, Orion
