Re: makeTypeElement fault, ws return value null

You can't have two elements with the same name in the same namespace. You should reference the ots:tp element from within the ots:tps definition reather than redefining it:

<xs:element name="tp">
      <xs:complexType>
           <xs:sequence>
                 <xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"/>
                 <xs:element name="predecessor_id" type="xs:string"/>
                 <xs:element name="hops" type="xs:integer"/>
            </xs:sequence>
       </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="tps">
      <xs:complexType>
           <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="ots:tp" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
           </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Hi there, friendly helpers!

I just started building web services with Apache Axis (configuration Tomcat
5, Axis 1.1, JSDK 1.4.1 on WinXP).

What I did:
- I put together a wsdl-file (relevant portions attached) with a complex
type "tps" consisting of a number of complex types ("tp")
- Using WSDL2Java I generated a client stub and server skeleton
(otsbindingimpl)
- I deployed my web service with the generated wsdd file
- yeap, Axis shows my web service in its list of deployed web services.
(http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet: And now.. Some Services
*ots (wsdl))
- when I click on the wsdl link I get
Fault - makeTypeElement() was told to create a type "{urn:ots}>tps>tp", with
no containing element
- when I use my client to access the web service (service ots/method
gettps), I always get NULL as return value... (I'm not sure, if this is
connected to the makeTypeElement-Fault.

What I then did, following the good old trial&error-strategy:

- I added a <wsdlfile>ots.wsdl</wsdlfile> element to my wsdd file. I put the
wsdl file into the lib-directory containing my web service classes
(undeploy/ deploy with restart tomcat) Result: No change.
- I tried to access a standard web service (service Version, method
getVersion). Worked out fine. It returned the Axis Version Info.
- I googled around and read the mailing list... Only to find other people
with same problems, but no solutions.

Any ideas?

--- Attach ---
--- wsdl-file (relevant portion) ---

from the <types>-section:

I have a separate tp element and a tp element encapsulated in the tps
element. (- Axis didn't take a reference to external xsd-files. :( -) With
this specific problem only the encapsulated tp-type is relevant. the
separate one is for another method I have defined in the wsdl.

<xs:element name="tp"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="predecessor_id" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="hops" type="xs:integer"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="tps"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="tp" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="predecessor_id" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="hops" type="xs:integer"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>

the rest (standard):
<message name="gettps_IN">
        <part name="maxhops" element="ots:maxhops"/>
</message>
<message name="gettps_OUT">
        <part name="tps" element="ots:tps"/>
</message>

OTSClient:
public class OTSClient {

                OTSBindingStub ots = new OTSBindingStub(new
java.net.URL("http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis/services/OTS";), null);
                _tps tps = ots.gettps(java.math.BigInteger.valueOf(5));
                if (tps != null) {
                        System.out.println(tps.gettp(0).getId());
                } else {
                        System.err.println("No tp available!");
                }
        }
}

>>> Returns always "No tp available!".

That's it!

From OTSBindingImpl:

public class OTSBindingImpl implements OTSInterface {
    public tps gettps(java.math.BigInteger maxhops) throws
java.rmi.RemoteException {
        System.out.println("ots/gettps invoked. Maxhops = " +
maxhops.toString());
        _tps tps = new tps();
        tps.settp(0, new _tps_tp());
        tps.gettp(0).setId("Rick");
        return tps;
    }

... rest as generated by WSDL2Java

>>> No output on tomcat console.
