I'm having some trouble deserializing a complex type which contains an array of Strings.
Currently I have a webservice running on weblogic server, and I'm trying to verify that it works well with webservice toolkits other than that supplied by BEA. So far I know the service works fine with .NET and with BEA's tools. But with Axis and Sun's JWSDP I'm unable to desirialize my responses. With Axis I get the following message: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize. And stacktrace: at org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.SimpleDeserializer.onStartChild(SimpleDeser ializer.java:189) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.startElement(Deseria lizationContextImpl.java:963) at org.apache.axis.message.SAX2EventRecorder.replay(SAX2EventRecorder.java: 198) at org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement.publishToHandler(MessageElement.j ava:722) at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.deserialize(RPCElement.java:233) at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.getParams(RPCElement.java:347) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2272) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2171) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:1691) at org.tempuri.ResultsServicePortStub.getResults(ResultsServicePortStub.jav a:276) at AxisTestClient.run(AxisTestClient.java:102) at AxisTestClient.main(AxisTestClient.java:67) Searching the archives of this list, I see some similar posts, but I'm not seeing any answers. Have a left out something so obvious that people haven't posted it to the list? Or is there a larger problem here? Any suggestions? It may be worth noting that when my array of strings is null, I don't get this exception, and the object is deserialized just fine. Thanks, Jeff Poetker
