I am new to axis, xml and web services, so sorry if I'm asking a
boneheaded question.
I am trying to do some basic web services with axis for learning and
evaluation. I am using axis 1.1, java2wsdl to convert a java interface
into wsdl and then wsdl2java to create my stubs and skeletons. I have
deployed to the axis web application with AdminClient and successfully
conversed between a dumb client and the web service. I have gotten a
string, and array of string and complex type (sequence of 4 strings) to
return correctly.
I have another complex type that doesn't seem to be working correctly.
The complex type is an array of complex types (sequence of 4 strings).
The web service seems to return the last entry 3 times (my dummy
Implementation puts 3 items into the return) instead of each entry once.
SOAPMonitor shows that the web service is sending the same href "#id0" 3
times. I think this is happening in axis generated code and I don't know
if it is a bug or I have forgotten a step or what.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've attached my java interface, the
wsdl it generated, my java implementation, my dumb java client and the
output I copied from SOAPMonitor. Thanks for any help,
Lloyd
