If you want your return value to be a User object, then that should be your return structure, not getUserResponse. i.e.,
<soapenv:Body> <user> <name>John Smith</name> <address>10 Main St.</address> </user> </soapenv:Body> The output message should be defined so: <wsdl:message name="getUserResponse"> <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:user"/> </wsdl:message> - Anne On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 18:41:24 +0900, Bill Keese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a few questions about return values from a method in a > wrapped/literal server. > > (1) My getUser() method returns a structure: > > User getUser(String id); > > I know that for wrapped/literal the input message should be > <soapenv:Body> > <getUser> > <id>jsmith</id> > </getUser> > </soapenv:Body> > > What should the response be, such that a client's generated stubs (for > wrapped/literal mode) don't contain any unnecessary structures?
