For those using Castor and Axis, I have a better solution... I have had to only write a custom serializer/deseralizer to handle the SimpleType Enum classes and have used the standard BeanSerializer/Deserializer to do the rest. I am successfully running in production a full blown castor based solution that doesn't use the DOM-based serialization that IBM's article suggests or the CastorSerializer classes use. It uses the standard SAX-based parsing of the BeanSerializers for all objects except for Enum classes. I generate my Castor classes using the SourceGenerator from schema and it works seemlessly. You don't need to use the CastorSerializer class!!
Contact me if you have further questions or need proof...

Unfortunately most of the things I have done have been complex. I started down the path of castor + axis because of the following link: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-castor/ The article above does not mention having to make the change to the CastorSerializer but the example they use is fairly simple.

What version of Axis are you using? Can you send a simple example that works with built in castor serialization?

Craig -----Original Message----- From: Keith Bohnenberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 3:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: 1.2 alpha and castor serialization I am trying to get a modified version of the stock example to work with built in castor serialization. I am using the alpha1.2 release from http://www.apache.org/dist/ws/axis/1_2alpha However, since it did not include the ...encoding.ser.castor.* classes I built a new axis.jar from the CVS repository. I then replaced the axis.jar file from the 1_2alpha download with the new axis.jar file. Given this configuration I can get the server side built and deployed however when I run my client I get the following error on the client side. I do have the TradePriceRequestDescriptor class that castor generated in my classpath so I am not sure what it is talking about. remoteException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Unable to marshall between XML and Castor Objects :unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'TradePriceRequest' in ClassDescriptor of TradePriceRequest AxisFault faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException faultSubcode: faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Unable to marshall between XML and Castor Objects :unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'TradePriceRequest' in ClassDescriptor of TradePriceRequest faultActor: faultNode: faultDetail: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}stackTrace:AxisFault faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException faultSubcode: faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Unable to marshall between XML and Castor Objects :unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'TradePriceRequest' in ClassDescriptor of TradePriceRequest faultActor: faultNode: faultDetail: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Unable to marshall between XML and Castor Objects :unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'TradePriceRequest' in ClassDescriptor of TradePriceRequest at org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.createFault(SOAPFaultBuilder.ja va:262) at org.apache.axis.message.SOAPFaultBuilder.endElement(SOAPFaultBuilder.jav a:169) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.endElement(Deseriali zationContextImpl.java:1092) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.endElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanEndElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDis patcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unkno wn Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:345) at org.apache.axis.encoding.DeserializationContextImpl.parse(Deserializatio nContextImpl.java:257) at org.apache.axis.SOAPPart.getAsSOAPEnvelope(SOAPPart.java:582) at org.apache.axis.Message.getSOAPEnvelope(Message.java:447) at org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender.readFromSocket(HTTPSender.java :687) at org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender.invoke(HTTPSender.java:134) at org.apache.axis.strategies.InvocationStrategy.visit(InvocationStrategy.j ava:71) at org.apache.axis.SimpleChain.doVisiting(SimpleChain.java:157) at org.apache.axis.SimpleChain.invoke(SimpleChain.java:122) at org.apache.axis.client.AxisClient.invoke(AxisClient.java:183) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invokeEngine(Call.java:2682) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2665) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2355) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2278) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:1772) at com.mbi.axis.test.server.J2WStockServiceSoapBindingStub.getLastTradePric e(J2WStockServiceSoapBindingStub.java:151) at com.mbi.axis.test.server.StaticClient.main(StaticClient.java:30)
