This is good, but is there any way to go about it without using this library on the server side? (e.g. have the method still return an Employee bean, and have axis give me the full complex type in the response as an Element and not just one element of the complex type?)

On the client side, I have a "generic" axis client that handles scalar types (String, Integer, etc.) as well as Element. My question is, is there any way I can return, say, an Employee bean from my web service menthod, and cast it to Element/XML on the client side? I've tried to do this, but if my bean has, say: > > > >firstname > >lastname > >salary > > > >fields.. I see via TCPMON the SOAP response contains <firstname>..</firstname><lastname>...</lastname> etc. and their correct values, but my Axis client code (when I specify return type of Constants.SOAP_ELEMENT), just gets the <firstname> Element, and seems to think that's the whole document. I've tried a beanmapping like this and many other variants: > > > ><beanMapping qname="apachesoap:Element" xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"; languageSpecificType="java:com.mycompany.Employee"/> > > > >Anything I can do here to get the whole response document? The WSDL is even generating fine, generating the complexType for Employee perfectly using the beanMapping above. > > > >Thanks > >Pete > > > > >
