Hi,
Doubles are sent on the wire as type xsd:double which is deserialized as
the primitive double. See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=soap-user&m=99619205825314&w=2 for a
similar discussion involving primitive (de)serialization.

Hi Folks,
I have written a very simple service to compute the square root of a
number:
public Double getSqrt (Double num) {
double d = num.doubleValue();
double result = java.lang.Math.sqrt(d);
return new Double(result);
}
In my client I invoke this service, passing it a Double.
When I run the client I get this error message:
Fault String = Exception while handling service request:
SqrtService.getSqrt(double) -- no signature match
Apparently, SOAP is converting the Double class into a double simple
type. Sure, enough, if I put this method in my service then it works:
public Double getSqrt (double num) {
double result = java.lang.Math.sqrt(num);
return new Double(result);
}
Note that the parameter is now of type double, rather than Double.
What is going on here? The client passes a Double, but the server
receives a double ... why? /Roger
