Is 'getObj' a static method? If not you don't want to be doing the 'static=true' bit.
Just a thought, Richard. "Craig E. Hohlbein" To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <chohlbein@visualm cc: ining.com> Subject: Deployment Help 07/05/2002 07:15 AM Please respond to soap-user I am having trouble creating a proper deployment descriptor to describe my service. I have an object that I want to return via the web service call. I have a serializer/deserializer to use for the object. The serializer/deserializer creates an XML representation of the object and sets and gets it in the marshalling/demarshalling code using one element called objXML that I add to the message. But I never get there since it seems as though my deployment is bad. All I ever get is "SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception" and "Fault String = org/apache/soap/util/xml/Serializer" whenever I make a call. Here's my existing descriptor. My object name is MyObj, the serializer is MyObjSerializer, the function to call is getObj and the class with the function to call is MyToolKit. What do I have wrong in here with my mapping? <isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment" id="urn:myapp"> <isd:provider type="java" scope="Application" methods="getObj"> <isd:java class="com.mycompany.MyToolKit" static ="true"/> </isd:provider> <isd:faultListener>org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener</isd:faultListene r> <isd:mappings> <isd:map encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:x="urn:myapp" qname="x:MyObj" javaType="com.mycompany.MyObj" java2XMLClassName="com.mycompany.MyObjSerializer" xml2JavaClassName="com.mycompany.MyObjSerializer"/> </isd:mappings> </isd:service> Any help would be most appreciated at this point. Thanks!
