I'm trying to convert to Axis from an implementation I did using Apache SOAP about a year back. I'm having some difficulty and hoping someone can help.
What I want to do: Invoke a method that returns a org.w3c.dom.Element. I want to process the XML that is returned directly but want to use the RPC service style (since it makes it easier to pass parameters). What I tried: My new service is both published and consumed by Axis (using 1.1 RC2). I deployed the service exposing a simple method that retuns a org.w3c.dom.Element with the following signature: public Element getStandings(int season) The WSDL (generated by Axis) indicates that the method of the service returns something of type "apachesoap:Element". When I try to invoke the call on the client side (setting the return type of the call to "org.apache.axis.Constants.SOAP_ELEMENT"), I get a "java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException". Am I setting the return type incorrectly (there is not much documentation to go off)? Should I be using the "wrapped" service style? This seemed a lot easier in Apache SOAP but maybe I've just forgotten the trials I had to go through to get it working. Thanks in advance for any help, Stefan ---- Stefan Leyhane Firmwater Inc.
