In my application, I need to represent a tree-like structure. In order to do this, I constructed the type Entry, which -- among other properties -- has a parent (which is also an Entry) and a collection of children (a java.util.TreeSet containing zero or more objects of type Entry). Through axis, I can access the server-side methods getByID() and getByNotation() which both return an Entry including the entry's immediate children (but no grandchildren) and the entry's parent including all ancestors (but no siblings). If I, however, try to access an entry in the middle of the hierarchy, the deserialized answer only returns the requested entry itself and its children, but entry's parent is null. I'm not a SOAP-expert (yet...), but the returned SOAP-response seems OK to me. If I access the methods without going through SOAP (i.e. through a jsp), I get the expected answer. Has anyone had similar problems before and/or could point me to a possible solution?
