client calling service that returns array possible ?

[Quinten Verheyen]

Hi,

I am new to Axis so if my question seems repetitive, my apologies.

I have to write a client that can call WSDL services.

Most of the services return an int, wich should pose no problem (= call.setReturnType(XMLType.XSD_INT) ).

However, I am stuck when I see this :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <ResponseName xmlns="url">
      <methodName>
          <string>string</string>
          <string>string</string>
      </methodName>
    </ResponseName>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The method name returns an array of strings (I assume) instead of a string.I don't know what the return type is in this case.No matter what I try, I get a (logical) error :
org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.
Expected I guess, but that doesn't give me any clue about how to solve this problem.
Sure I saw a couple of threads and mails about using custom (de)serializers etc. BUT I am only using that WDSL, I didn't develop it, so I cannot writecustom beans because they wouldn't be recognized. At least, that's how I understood it.
I sure would appreciate the help, cause this thing needs to be solved quite quickly ..
