Hi Andrew,
Can you tell me at which stage in your development are you using
Castor or planning to use JAXB.. I want to know what is the need and why
you use it in your project.
I have a project where my MailProcessor class's getMails() returns a
Hashtable and since this would be a b2b call, I want that the request
come thru soap and the result of the mails from different email servers
would be in XML... but I dont know how I can do it in Apache-Soap.
Earlier I have used Castor but it was without SOAP, so I want to know
how you will use SOAP and Castor together...
Pls I would appreciate it if you could be more explainatory...
Thanks in advance,
Rgds,
Balaji Iyer

Subject: RE: XML Conversion...
Radek,
Thanks for this, this is very interesting, as I am attempting the same
thing with the Castor XML implementation (see previous post). The issue
I have though is that Castor XML and to the best of my knowledge JAXB,
will not (yet) accept SOAP encoded XML.
As such in my SOAP requests, I am using document literal encoding. Do
you also required this, for JAXB and your serialiser to work properly?
Do you have a sample request I can look at? Also are you using an RPC
style method signature in your implementation class?
Also my document literal SOAP requests (from a .Net C# client) don't
carry any encodingStyle attribute. Yet in order to get my serialiser
invoked I need to specify a SOAP encoding in the deployment descriptor?
I noticed you also have this, so although my current solution works, the
encodingStyle issue is a little strange to me?
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I'v send already JAXB serializer, very beta version, probably to
soap-dev
list.
Resending now again to soap-user.
