hi,
Could anyone point me to a solution for the following problem:
A .NET client (C#) returns the following exception while calling an Axis
web service:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'
occurred in System.Web.Services.dll
Additional information: Cannot find type for
urn:RIPWS:ArrayOf_tns2_EmployeeInfo.
The first part of the SOAP response (see below) shows that the element
'employees' is nil and of type ArrayOf_tns2_EmployeeInfo.
However, the .NET client proxy is unaware of this type. It only knows the
type EmployeeInfo[].
There's no problem when the element is not nil (see second part of SOAP
response).
*** WSDL snippet ***
<complexType name="Activity">
<sequence>
<element name="employees" nillable="true" type
="impl:ArrayOf_tns2_EmployeeInfo" />
<element name="employerInfo" nillable="true" type
="tns1:EmployerInfo" />
</sequence>
</complexType>

<restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType
