Hi PASQUER, At the end of this email, please find the WSDD file, and the sample request and response for the message style service that comes with axis/samples.
Just compile the MessageService.java class and place it in WEB-INF/classes/samples/message directory. Copy-paste this WSDD entry in your server-config.wsdd file. Restart the server. See if this works for you. If this (Element[] echoElements(Element [] elems)) works and If this (SOAPBodyElement [] method (SOAPBodyElement [] bodies) still does not work for you. Please do send all the details, your WSDD entry in server-config.wsdd and source. I'll try this myself, if possible. ///// Here is the entry in server-config.wsdd file <service name="MessageService" provider="java:MSG" style="message" use="literal"> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="echoElements"/> <parameter name="className" value="samples.message.MessageService"/> <parameter name="sendXsiTypes" value="false"/> <parameter name="sendMultiRefs" value="false"/> </service> //// Here is the sample for message style service from Axis samples. package samples.message ; import org.w3c.dom.Element; /** * Simple message-style service sample. */ public class MessageService { /** * Service method, which simply echoes back any XML it receives. * * @param elems an array of DOM Elements, one for each SOAP body element * @return an array of DOM Elements to be sent in the response body */ public Element[] echoElements(Element [] elems) { return elems; } } //// Results after invoking this Web Service using WebServiceTester --------------------- Executing: MessageService\echoElements START TIME: Mon Jan 26 11:18:34 PST 2004 END TIME: Mon Jan 26 11:18:37 PST 2004 TEST RESULT: Test Passed Response Time : 1482ms TTFB : 260ms TTLB : 1482ms Response Size : 409 HTTP Header : POST /axis/services/MessageService HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/* User-Agent: WST Host: localhost:8080 Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache SOAPAction: "" Content-Length: 468 ===START REQUEST XML ENVELOPE=== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ec hoElements xmlns="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/MessageService"><test>& lt;test1>value1</test1><test2>value2</test2></te st></echoElements></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope> ===END REQUEST XML ENVELOPE=== ===START RESPONSE XML ENVELOPE=== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body><echoElements xmlns="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/MessageService"><test xmlns=""><test1>value1</test1><test2>value2</test2></test></echoElements > </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> ===END RESPONSE XML ENVELOPE=== Thanks, Shrikant Wagh QA Lead, HPP/Eprofile, HP For those who are interested in Web Services testing: ----------------------------------------------------- I found that WebServiceTester from Optimyz software is a very good tool for testing any types of web services, and I'm great fan of this tool. It supports all types of web services, and all simple and complex types and it very usable than any other tool in the market I ever used/evaluated. It automatically generates the SOAP requests and invokes the intended web services. It can perform functional, regression and load testing of web services. Result analysis and status reporting is just wonderful. I'll highly recommend this tool for testing web services, saves lots of time and efforts in testing web services.
