RE: Object lists in axis

[THOMAS, JAI [AG-Contractor/1000]]

Suzy, You can define a custom serialization for your Person object and return array of Person objects. Or write Person as a pure java bean and use BeanSerialization. You can find lots of discussion on serialization in this forum.   Having seperate service for each method would be a week and unfriendly interface.   Thanks Jai -----Original Message----- From: Suzy Fynes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Object lists in axis Hey,   Have a question, I have an object containing loads of information on a person e.g name, phone number, address etc I want to send someone a list of these people using axis. I store the list in an ArrayList containing objects of each person. Seen as ArrayLists are just for java its not good for a web service, so I created an array of objects. Now considering it has to be generic the objects can only be Strings, Integers etc   So my question is how can I return more than one piece of information using only Data type objects? Currently all web services ive deployed only use access one method, could I have say 5 methods all returning different information of the person. Ie. one method returns all the names, second one returns all phone numbers etc   Any help would be great! Thanks, Sue
