Axis is fully capable of serializing and deserializing complex types. -- Andy
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/14/04 02:26AM >>> Is JAX-RPC really not capable of processing complex data types? I am using Soap to fill the gap between C++ and Java... If JAX-RPC only supports simple type objects the whole idea is not working :-( *********************************************************************** Hi! JAX-RPC only receives the simple type object as parameters just because they implement the Serialization interface which make sure these objects can be transformed over network!it works like this: 1)serialize your object before they are transformed 2)object is transformed over network in binary stream 3)at destination,the binary stream is deserialized,and form the correct object! 4)the object is used at the destination Of course,it is not you who do the serialization work and deserialization work! but you need to ensure your object can be serialized and deserialized,and what you actually need to do is to implement the serialization interface!If you have done some RMI programs,you would be very clear about this point! So JAX-RPC only allows simple type objects used as params in the method!may be in the future,this package can be more stronger and thus programmers can obtain more choices! Hope that my advice can help and have a nice day ***********************************************************************
