RE: mixing encoding styles; literal Element return type

[Angus]

Hello All,
        I'm getting an error when deploying one of Apache's samples. It reads

Ouch, the call failed:
  Fault Code   = SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception:
  Fault String = java.lang.AbstractMethodError

and the Weblogic console says: 

SOAP Service Manager: Unable to read 'DeployedServices.ds': assuming fresh start

Can anyone help?

Angus

Hi,

I'm not sure that I fully understand encoding styles and mapping yet. 
 Perhaps somebody could give me a hand?

We are trying to write some code that will access an ejb.  The methods 
have one or two parameters that are simple strings (input only), and the 
return type is org.w3c.dom.Element.  How do I properly represent this in 
both the deployment descriptor and the soap client code?

Here's my deployment descriptor:

    <isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment";
    id="urn:bookingdirector">
      <isd:provider type="org.apache.soap.providers.StatelessEJBProvider"
                    scope="Application"
                    methods="getAllBookings getSingleBooking">
        <isd:java class="org.mitre.mytravel.ejb.BookingDirector"/>
        <isd:option key="JNDIName" value="ejb/BookingDirector"/>
        <isd:option key="FullHomeInterfaceName"
    value="org.mitre.mytravel.ejb.BookingDirectorHome"/>
        <isd:option key = "ContextProviderURL" value=""/>
        <isd:option key = "FullContextFactoryName"
    value="com.netscape.server.jndi.RootContextFactory"/>
      </isd:provider>
     
    <isd:faultListener>org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener</isd:faultListener>
    </isd:service>

Thanks in advance for any advice, suggestions, or examples,
Matt
